Background: In the years after the Second World War, the BBC invited some of the leading English and Irish writers of short stories to read a selection of their own work on the radio. For the first time this unrivalled archive of recordings is now made available for wider distribution.

This three-CD set includes a wide range of stories - from the elegantly-turned miniatures of Somerset Maugham to the eerie supernatural tales of Algernon Blackwood. Around a dozen writers will be featured in all, including Kingsley Amis, Angela Carter, Harold Pinter, Phyllis Bentley, Edna O'Brien, A E Coppard, Lord Dunsany, V S Pritchett and William Trevor.

The set offers a rare and unique opportunity to hear some of the works of the most highly regarded masters of the craft in their own voices.
