Description

In Mr. Punchs Pocket Ibsen, experience a delightful twist on five of Henrik Ibsens renowned tragedies through witty comic parodies that originally graced the pages of Punch, the iconic British humor magazine.

These charming adaptations invite readers to embrace the quirks of Ibsens world with a fresh perspective. LibriVox has brought to life full-cast renditions of the original plays that F.
