Rare recordings of some of the greatest writers have been released by the British Library. 30 British writers and 27 American can be heard speaking and, in some cases, like Virginia Woolf, they are the only surviving recording of the writer.
The CDs also include Arthur Conan Doyle, Daphne du Maurier, F Scott Fitzgerald and Evelyn Waugh. [via BBC and The Telegraph]
