    About this audiobook

    The letters of my friend Mr. Stark Munro appear to me to form so connected a whole, and to give so plain an account of some of the troubles which a young man may be called upon to face right away at the outset of his career, that I have handed them over to the gentleman who is about to edit them. There are two of them, the fifth and the ninth, from which some excisions are necessary; but in the main I hope that they may be reproduced as they stand. I am sure that there is no privilege which my friend would value more highly than the thought that some other young man, harassed by the needs of this world and doubts of the next, should have gotten strength by reading how a brother had passed down the valley of shadow before him.HERBERT SWANBOROUGH.

      Very interesting and entertaining. Different narrators for almost every chapter caused a little distraction. Some narrators spoke almost too fast to be understood while another’s voice became mumbled or very quiet at the end of sentences.
