Title: False Advertising (NOT UNABRIDGED)
Review: This product is advertised as "UNABRIDGED poems and stories," and both the front and back of the CD box displays the word "unabridged," but it's not unabridged.I bought this Caedmon product to supplement my Literature class, because I wanted to teach my students to "hear" short stories and novels. Since I've purchased several excellent quality Shakespeare plays from Caedmon(all of which followed the text of the Riverside Shakespeare exactly), I decided to buy this collection.Alas! One only has to listen to the first three paragraphs of "The Cask of Amontillado" to realize that several sentences have been OMITTED (about 10 sentences from the entire story).Price and Rathbone do an excellent job with the EDITED material, and that saddens me, because I can imagine what they could have done with the unabridged text.
