Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets: An Audible Original

On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you'll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. 

Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we're told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the 'forbidden' festering beneath Victorian society? 

Across 12 episodes, Stephen presents a series of true accounts of the dangerous low life and debauched high life of Victorian Britain.

I LOVE me some Stephen Fry.  Oh, yes I do. :)

This audiobook 'read' more like a podcast.  The lovely Mr. Fry narrates twelve info/stories that are anchored by experts and sprinkled with actors.  I definitely enjoyed it, and I learned some new things about Victorian England.
