The original abridged recordings of the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga, in one collection!

For almost four decades Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City has blazed its own trail through popular culture—from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel, to a television event that entranced millions around the world.

Now the original abridged recordings, read by Armistead Maupin himself, are available in one audio collection. The first six stories about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, are both a sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that changed forever the way we live.
