The Philosopher's Doll by Amanda Lohrey, read by Tracey Callander

At over seven hours on eight CDs The Philosopher’s Doll may be a bit of a slog, or a feast for the ears if the unabridged words of Amanda Lohrey (read by Tracy Callander) are your thing. Lohrey’s text is highly detailed and descriptive while Callander’s delivery is clear and almost Shakespearian in its diction—although she still has lots of fun with the voices of the minor characters, from posh waiters to wayward youths.
