The Strange Orchid (H. G. Wells Series)

Rating:
Summary: Good short stories
Review: Five of HG Wells short stories read by Ralph Cosham, who sounds like Michael Redgrave. He reads each short story, unabridged, but doesn't modulate his voice to indicate when different characters are speaking, so it gets a bit samey after a while,, especially when he's doing a dialog between two characters and there are no 'he saids, she saids' to help it along. The Strange Orchid: tells of the macabre appetite of an exotic plant. The Truth About Pyecraft: explains why an overbearing fat man wears lead underwear Man Who Could Work Miracles: recounts the problems ofdefying nature. The Purple Pileus: deals with a life-altering fungus Aepyornis Island: a man has a special relationship with a prehistoric bird.
