Reminder of how nice this particular track from the soundtrack of BBC's Emma (2009) miniseries is. Just so lovely. In my brain to comfort me always. Thank you Samuel Sim.

The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Masterpost
(a radio drama adaptation is a dramatization of the source material, with voice actors, music, and sound effects. It differs from a full cast audiobook in that it is an adaptation of the book and not just a reading. For this reason, then tend to be much shorter than an audiobook)
