Two boys from the Foundling Hospital are given the same name, with disastrous consequences in adulthood. After the death of one – now a proprietor of a wine merchant’s company - the executors, to right the wrong, are commissioned to find a missing heir. Their quest takes them from fungous wine cellars in the City of London to the sunshine of the Mediterranean—across the Alps in winter. Danger and treachery would prevail were it not for the courage of the heroine, Marguerite, and a faithful company servant. Many thanks Mr Alan Chant for your recording. Highly recommended! A lovely recording Philippe Horak 2008-04-07 14:05:41 2008-04-07 14:05:41 5 Mr. Alan Chant, I would like to thank you for making my work day go by so fast.

Mr. Chant is an artist! It is not an easy task to read aloud, but with Mr Chant you can always expect a tour de force. Bravo for Mr. Chant alamedared 2008-04-25 17:27:57 2008-04-25 17:27:57 5 I've had only the barest minimum of Lit in school, and had never heard of this story by Dickens, but as a fan of Alan Chant, I decided to take a listen. It's just 6 hours - rather short for a Dickens audiobook, but includes a cast of interesting characters, which Alan brings to life with his excellent reading voices. This audio file deserves the highest rating, both for the quality of the story and the quality of the reading. Wonderful read of a sweet Dickens tale ListeninginChicago 2009-08-06 13:53:09 2009-08-06 13:53:09 5 4 5.00
