Be Aware, It's An Abridged Edition

I had read the unabridged book and remembered stories I wanted to hear again for next month's book group discussion. I downloaded the book from my iPhone, and didn't see that it was an abridged edition. This version is very nice, but it leaves out at least two of the stories I really liked.

I enjoyed listening to the stories in this collection, just know that you are missing some of the best if you don't also read the unabridged version.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
