The Elizabeth Gaskell Library

Welcome, dear listener, to The Elizabeth Gaskell Library, a quiet corner of the airwaves devoted to the pleasure of unhurried reading. Here you will find the novels and tales of Mrs Gaskell - stories of bustling mills and peaceful parlours, of steadfast friendships, small kindnesses, and hearts tested by circumstance.

Wander through the smoky streets of Milton and sit awhile in the drawing rooms of Cranford, this podcast offers a moment’s refuge from the noise of modern life. Settle in with a cup of tea, and let each story unfold as it once did: patiently, thoughtfully, and in good company.
