THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN

by Simon Winchester | Read by Simon Winchester

Biography & Memoir • 6.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1998

This is a fascinating true story well told about a murderous nutcase who contributed important entries to the original and monumental OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY*. The author has a listener-friendly voice, even though he seems to be fighting off a bug in his throat. He reads as if late for an appointment. Nonetheless, he gives us a satisfying listen. Y.R. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
