Letters to Dead Authors

About this film

LibriVox recording of Letters to Dead Authors by Andrew Lang. Read in English by Brian Mansi; Wendy Almeida; Martin Geeson; Timothy Ferguson; Algy Pug; Michele Eaton; Greg Giordano; Eden Rea-Hedrick; Jacob Paul Starr; Leni With twenty two letters, addressed to various already deceased authors, Andrew Lang discusses literary subjects with his usual humour and acidity. The impulse for the writing of the letters came, almost as a joke, from the editor of the 'St. James's Gazette,' and sixteen of the letters collected in the volume appeared first in that journal. According to the author, "some of the Letters are written rather to suit the Correspondent than to express the writer's own taste or opinions"; in all of them, though, the reader will find the charming wit of their author.
