NBC University Theater initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience.

Additionally, if listeners signed up, they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course. A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents.

In its later years, it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award.

Unlike many other radio shows, University Theater did not pursue glamorous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first-class acting alongside high production values.

But now it is time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

The sound is horrible. I’ve read the novel, and I still could not follow the story. I could not remove this trash quickly enough.

What a dastardly thing to do to a great book — you should be ashamed.

Hi, I’ve tried to listen to this for about 15 minutes now. The recording is so bad. I can hardly understand anything they are saying. I don’t think I purchased this with a credit. But I think that someone on your side should listen to these things before you put them up there. I’m so sorry.

Oh boy - very bad sound
