About this listen
William Dorrit has been a resident of the Marshalsea debtors prison for so many years that he has gained the nickname "The Father of the Marshalsea". However, his suffering is eased by his close bond with youngest daughter Amy, or "Little Dorrit".
The dashing Arthur Clennam, returning to London after many years in China, enters their lives, and the Dorrits' fortunes begin to rise and fall.
A biting satirical work on the shortcomings of 19th century government and society.

Truly Sublime!!
My first audiobook and every time I treat myself to a listen, I end up grinning from ear to ear. Mr.Lesser does a fantastic job of bringing all the wonderful characters so vividly to life. Hilarious and heart-breaking in turn, this is a masterpiece given a masterful treatment. Highly recommended,

Superb performance
Anton Lesser could make reading the telephone directory interesting. This is a superb performance which really adds to the understanding of the novel. Faultless.

Wonderful narration.
I have read Little Dorrit and consider it one of Dickens' best novels. This reading is so good though, I couldn't
wait to continue listening. Anton Lesser never 'gets in the way' of the flow of the story. His characterisation
is excellent and enjoyable. Top marks!

Fantastic story and reader
Why this is one of Dickens' lesser known works I do not understand. It has his distinctive humour throughout and a superb collection of wonderful characters. Both comic and moving, it is a brilliant commentary on society and is remarkably relevant for today.
I've listened to a number of books read by Anton Lesser and am always amazed at his characerisations. Each has their own distinctive voice, bringing Dickens' rich characters to life brilliantly. I laughed everytime chatterbox Flora was speaking. I enjoyed this book and narration immensely.

Thank you
I am in a state of addiction, devouring Dickens unabridged at a rate of knots. I blame it on a sudden need for many journeys and an ill relative. I have appreciated the company of many and various characters as I have been on motorways, early and late and often in a fretful state of mind. I have read Little Dorrit and seen it twice but neither reading or viewing quite comes close to the way Anton Lesser has brought it back to life for me. Subtle, vivid, passionate, lovely; thank you.
