 I heard this audiobook compilation of Anton Chekhov's short stories the other day. This small audiobook under 2 hours consists of 7 great short stories.

I listened to this audiobook more than once. I love Chekhov and I love Stephen Fry.

I only wish the collection would end off with a more lighthearted story.

It includes several quite well know stories.

Delightful cocktail this -- lovely stories by Chekhov and amazing narration by the one and only Stephen Fry (okay I'm biased about him, but seriously the guy is amazing narrator). This is a very short book, with only one moderately long story. Must read for short-story lovers.
