    About this audiobook

    This collection brings together five of Lawrence's short stories from 1907-13 and ranges across all his major early styles and themes. They portray his distinctive vision of relations between men and woman, as well as social and economic life and human nature in general. The stories here concentrate on the details and dramas of everyday living, yet Lawrence is able to make these familiar things seem both vivid and strange, drawing the listener into intense participation with the thoughts and emotional experiences of his characters.

    David Shaw-Parker has worked in theatres throughout Britain. He has acted in many radio plays for both BBC World Service and Radio 4 and has made numerous appearances on both BBC and commercial television.

    D. H. Lawrence

    David Herbert Lawrence was born on 11th September 1881 in Eastwood, a small mining village in Nottinghamshire, in the English Midlands. Despite ill health as a child and a comparatively disadvantageous position in society, he became a teacher in 1908, and took up a post in a school in Croydon, south of London. His first novel, The White Peacock, was published in 1911, and from then until his death he wrote feverishly, producing poetry, novels, essays, plays travel books and short stories, while travelling around the world, settling for periods in Italy, New Mexico and Mexico. He married Frieda Weekley in 1914 and died of tuberculosis in 1930.
