Hello everybody.
Well I've uploaded stuff in the first group I joined on Times Past (Holmes) and as I've got some great books from this group it's time I started giving back here as well.
I have 3 different versions of Jamaica Inn by the BBC. Two of them are 4 part dramatisations - one from 1975 and the other more common one from the 90s I vaguely recall.
For 10 nights over Xmas (2010) the BBC broadcast a new abridged reading of the book by Tamsin Grieg in the 15 minute Book at Bedtime slot. I really liked this version, more than both dramatisations, as well as hearing Grieg attempt England's West Country accent which is where I live. I'll upload a text file at the end with all the info and copy a bit of it here. It includes descriptions of each part but in theory I'd call them spoilers.

Thanks, Jake.
Listening to this excellent reading was a great way to spend the last 2 1/2 hours.

Please note the files 8 and 9 are not in the right order. Once they are all in one folder they will automatically sort themselves out though. (I blame Ning!)

Thanks so much Jake. DuMaurier is one of my favorites and I didn't have this version. Suzanne
