"This classic story of heroism and friendship (THE THREE MUSKETEERS) set in prerevolutionary France needs no introduction. The wonderful tale should be background readingfor every French history course. Covell's semi-voiced reading is entertaining and he interprets the story effectively and reads the different characters with varying degrees of emotion and intensity. Although the whole recording is over 28 hours, the listening experience is well worth the time required." from Kliattmagazine March, 1993
"With a French accent, Walter Covell reads three of Emile
Zola's naturalistic stories, 'Captain Burle,' 'The Miller's Daughter,' and
'The Death of Olivier Becaille.' Covell's voice changes to match each
character, even as his serious tone and graceful delivery match Zola's own
style. Also, Covell's delivery of melodious French names and words informs
these tales with an oral elegance. There is only one way to learn these
stories and that is to hear them on this recording."review of THREE BY
ZOLA in BOOKLIST magazine February 15, 1981
"Presenting two classic showdowns, this cassette offers more
than just the action of a fight; these tales analyze the fighters in
affairs of honor. Narrator Zimmerman reads these stories with fine
expression." review of Cassette N-31 in BOOKLIST magazine January,
1980
"Here are some pleasing, unabridged versions of fine literature. THE
THREE MUSKETEERS is excitedly brought to life by the gifted, energetic
voice of Walter Covell, who seems to be reading with a smile and enjoying
the story as much as any listener. Guy de Maupassant's intriguing short
story (PIERRE AND JOHN) has an accomplished reader in Walter Zimmerman."

#C-236 PERE GORIOT by Honoré de Balzac Read by Walter Covell.This
novel was written when Balzac's genius was at it's height and when the
his physical powers were not as yet impaired by his enormous labor and his
reckless disregard for his health. The history of Goriot and his daughters,
the fortunes of Eugene and the mysterious work of Vautrin, not only receive
due and unperplexed development, but work upon each other with that
correspondence and interdependence which forms the rarest gift of the
novelist. Nowhere else is Balzac's charm presented in a more pervading and
satisfactory manner than in this novel. ( 8cassettes )...$56.00

For a whole bunch of reasons. For one thing, given the high
price of most companies' book rentals, it doesn't cost all that much
more and you don't have to worry about getting them back on time.
When you're done you can lend them to friends, colleagues, relatives, the
boss, etc. or donate them to tax-deductible organizations such as schools,
libraries and hospitals. You make friends, influence people and get
yourself a nice little deduction. A warning - most of our titles are worth
a second or third listen. Lend them only to friends or relatives who are
in the habit of returning things.
