Editor reviews
Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott published the short piece "The Tapestried Chamber" in 1828 as part of The Keepsake Stories. In this ghost story, General Browne stops at the castle of a former classmate while he is traveling and there encounters a very strange woman in his bedchamber… who seems to be quite dead. Donna Barkman's performance lends the story a mysterious air. Her proper voice and clear diction embody General Browne's world while her somber yet warm tone make listening to Barkman an easy feat. Moreover, she seamlessly constructs voices for both male and female characters.

A good story ruined by the narrator
This is a good short story written by Walter Scott. It's a shame about the reader, who succeeded in ruining it.
I wasn't sure if she was narrating the story, or trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records for reading it in the shortest time possible.

Not Unabridged
What didn’t you like about Donna Barkman’s performance?
I found the reader to be very even and somewhat flat. I do like a bit of a performance in my readers and not just a reading.
Any additional comments?
This is very abridged. Be warned.

Good period piece
I don't usually read ghost stories but was recommended to read this one as part of a course I am doing. I enjoyed the descriptions of the castle and the chamber .
The narrator was American but I didn't find that a problem and I thought the speed of narration was fine. Pity more Walter Scott stories aren't available on Audible.
