Summary
When too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted, a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats, missing cats, and love at first sight make Ned's holiday anything but restful - to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.
Delightfully aided by the perfect comedic timing of narrator Steven Crossley, To Say Nothing of the Dog shows once again why Connie Willis is one of the most talented writers working today.

Love this
Jerome K Jerome meet, among others, Wodehouse. Lots of details, a ‘cunning’ plot and the cat, to say nothing of the dog...

Why not?
Why are this book and Doomsday not movies already?
Well worth the money and I will read them again.

Unexpectedly emotional
Loved it, although without spoiling the ending for anyone I found myself quite affected by it. The fate of one character in particular staying with me for weeks after. Would highly recommend the series to anyone with an interest in historical fiction

Entertaining, despite the Americanisms...
This is an engaging tale, but no English person EVER says "suspenders" when they mean "braces" (for trousers), "schedules" when they would say "timetables" (for trains) or "marrows field" for "a field of marrows", and it's a fishing "rod", not a "pole" in the UK.
These errors jar, which is a shame, as this is good fun!

Perfect listening
Where does To Say Nothing of the Dog rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I love this book - it is right up there with Connie Willis' best - and loved this audio version of it too, which is perfectly read. It possibly helps in grasping the background, but isn't essential, if you have already read Domesday Book ... this is much lighter hearted but every bit as gripping.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Oh yes!

Not to be missed
This is light hearted and really amusing whilst also having a good storyline. I loved the author's turn of phrase and the wonderful world and characters that were created. Definitely a book not to be missed.

Outstanding
Clever, funny, romantic and exciting... loved it from beginning to end (especially the phrase "kissed her for 169 years").

Thoroughly enjoyed
Fantastic book with even better narration.
Loved the characters, the mystery of it and the written colour of the English Victorian Era.
Would recommend to everyone.
