Welcome, dear listener, to The Mrs. Henry Wood Library, where the lamps are lit, the curtains drawn, and the great houses of England yield their secrets once more. Within these walls you shall find no idle tales, but histories of the heart, of devotion sorely tried, of reputations imperilled, of sorrow borne in silence, and of truths that will not forever remain concealed.

Here are the quiet parlours and shadowed corridors where conscience whispers louder than scandal, and where a single misstep may alter the course of a life. Each episode presents a complete reading of Mrs. Henry Wood’s celebrated novels, that you may follow every trembling hope, every fatal error, and every solemn reckoning to its just conclusion.

Enter, then, with sympathetic spirit. The door stands open, but once within, you may find it difficult to depart until the last page is turned and the final secret laid bare.Public domain
