This collaboration between Penguin Books and Carte Noire (coffee maker) features three passages from Jane Austen, including:
Greg Wise reading Persuasion (above)
Joseph Fiennes reading Sense and Sensibility
Dominic West reading Pride and Prejudice
The fourth reader, Dan Stevens, does not read Jane Austen, unfortunately.

  4. Anon: I guess so... in fact if you look at all the other titles... definitely carefully selected to appeal to a certain group: girls!!!
    Beauty: You're going to leave JF out in the cold is it? Actually, even though I went into it thinking i'll like DS, after i watched/listened to them all I decided that DW has the most... style?
