Sinossi

The swords are older—but the fire still burns.
Two decades have passed since d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis last fought side by side. The glory days of swashbuckling heroism seem behind them, lost to time and political change.

But France is once again on the brink of chaos. Civil war erupts, the Fronde rebellion threatens the monarchy, and old enemies rise with new ambitions. When fate reunites the legendary four, they must choose between loyalty to each other and loyalty to a fractured kingdom.

Twenty Years After is Alexandre Dumas' powerful sequel to The Three Musketeers—a rich and dramatic novel of aging heroes, deepening conflicts, and the enduring bonds of friendship forged in fire.

"A darker, richer, and more emotional chapter in the Musketeer saga."
– The New York Review of Books

"Dumas doesn't just continue the story—he deepens it, giving his heroes more soul and more struggle."
– Literary Hub

    1601, written by Mark Twain, is a supposititious conversation which takes place in Queen Elizabeth's closet between the Queen, Ben Jonson, Beaumont, Sir Walter Raleigh, the Duchess of Bilgewater, and one or two others... If there is a decent word findable in it, it is because I overlooked it. 1601 depicts a highfalutin and earthy discussion between the Queen and her court about farting and a variety of sexual peccadillos, narrated disapprovingly and sanctimoniously by the Queen's Cup-Bearer, an eyewitness at the Social Fireside.

    Charlotte feels shell-shocked as she takes in the scene before her. To the left is her (ex?) fiancé’s retreating figure as he hotfoots it back to civilization; in front, the crumbling Greek island farmhouse she thought was their shared dream; and just below, a goat munching merrily on her sunhat… One year ago, as they drowned their post-holiday blues, Jamie had leaped at Charlotte’s idea to permanently swap drizzly Chester for sun-drenched Crete. Now it looks like she’ll be living this dream alone. Devastated, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work, pouring her misery–and her anger–into turning this derelict house into her forever home. At least the local community welcomes her into their lemon-scented bosom, along with sexy, provoking restaurant-owner-slash-handyman Darius. Taking a sledgehammer to her old life and snacking on homemade honey cake on her breaks, Charlotte begins to see the promise of a future without Jamie. But on a trip back to Chester, he suddenly appears, wanting her back. Faced with a choice between the first love who broke her heart and the gorgeous Greek man, err scenery, that has been putting it back together, how will Charlotte decide where she truly belongs?

    'The Wish List' is the story of Alfie, who takes a seasonal job packing boxes at an e-commerce company, only to discover that the warehouse contain a good deal more than just presents. 
    When Alfie takes a holiday job at the Stocking.christmas warehouse, he's simply hoping to earn a little Christmas money. He's certainly not expecting to discover that there's someone living in the warehouse, scavenging everything they need from the shelves of Europe's largest warehouse. And that's just the start of it, as Alfie learns far more than he ever expected about the man living there, the business he's working for and about the true magic of Christmas. 
    'The Wish List' is a comedic, whimsical adventure of modern life and Christmas enchantment. It is part of the Christmas Stories series, merry and magical stories that take Christmas seriously (or as seriously as it should be taken, which is both not at all and entirely too much). 24 episodes of a new Christmas story for adults read aloud every December - an audiobook advent calendar.
