  As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable.  A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off.  Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.  Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm.  Sometimes they may get that.  But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not.  Expect the unexpected.

  In this haunting and morally profound tale by Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth explores what happens when love is delayed—and conscience awakens too late. 
  Anne Lisbeth once rose above her station by serving as nurse to a noble child, enjoying comfort, admiration, and pride. But in doing so, she turned away from her own son, leaving him to grow up unloved, neglected, and ultimately lost to the sea. Years later, when the weight of her choices finally stirs, Anne Lisbeth is forced into a harrowing reckoning—one shaped by guilt, superstition, and the relentless voice of conscience. 
  Set against cold shorelines, moonlit paths, and quiet churchyards, this dark psychological fairy tale unfolds as a journey through remorse, spiritual terror, and redemption hard-won. Ghostly visions blur with inner truth, and the boundary between the living and the dead dissolves as a mother confronts the cost of her ambition and neglect. 
  Narrated with solemn clarity by Jenna Kitchen, Anne Lisbeth is a powerful, adult fairy tale—somber, human, and deeply moving—reminding listeners that while love may be withheld, the soul is never beyond awakening.

  The Everlasting Man

  G. K. Chesterton

  'Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.'
  
  One of Chesterton's most renowned Christian apologetic works, The Everlasting Man is a powerful defence of Christianity, and a compelling argument for why spirituality should be a key component to Western civilisation and humanity at large.
  
  First published in 1925, The Everlasting Man is in many ways a direct rebuttal to H.G. Wells's The Outline of History, wherein he states that man is merely a development from animal life, and that Jesus was just a charismatic figure. Although a popular secular idea at the time, Chesterton believed otherwise. He argued that in order to understand both humanity and history, we ought first to recognise the uniqueness of both man and Christ. Split into two parts, this book delves into what makes man different – as creators of art, religion and reason – as well as the significance of God, and how He marked a turning point in all of history. Written with Chesterton's trademark wit and fondness of the philosophical, The EverlastingMan is an elegant investigation into the divine and how it may be the answer to humanity's deepest questions. This audiobook edition is excellently read by Jonathan Keeble.
  Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.
