Andersen was a cobbler's son who arrived in Copenhagen at fourteen with nothing and was educated at the king's expense; his novels are almost forgotten behind the tales, and this one is about being marked for life.

  Awake from the grim reality of an industrialized world into a breathless vision of pure human harmony. 
  After a fiery debate at the Socialist League, William Guest returns to his dreary London home, falls asleep, and awakens into the impossible. The smog-choked skies of the 19th century have vanished, replaced by a radiant, sunlit landscape where the River Thames runs crystal clear. He has somehow slipped into the future—a breathtaking post-revolutionary society where money is obsolete, prisons have been torn down, and labor is performed for the sheer joy of creation. Guided by friendly locals like the handsome waterman Dick and the wise old historian Hammond, William explores a radically transformed England, trying to comprehend a world built on profound equality, artistry, and fellowship, while hiding the secret of his true origins. 
  Why you will love this: This seminal pillar of Utopian Fiction offers a captivating and deeply philosophical thought experiment. Striking the perfect balance between social commentary and romantic narrative, listeners will be swept away by Morris’s lush, detailed world-building. If you love philosophical literature, classic sci-fi, and alternate histories envisioning post-capitalist utopias, this beautifully narrated journey will capture both your intellect and your heart. 
  About the Author: William Morris (1834–1896) was a British textile designer, poet, novelist, and socialist activist intimately tied to the British Arts and Crafts Movement. His pioneering literary works helped establish the modern fantasy genre and remain deeply influential for their sweeping romanticism and profound political idealism.

  Edward Frederic Benson was born in Berkshire, England on 24th July 1867. 
  Educated at Marlborough and Kings College Cambridge he began his career as a writer at an early age and was published whilst still studying. 
  Benson was also a gifted athlete and represented his country at figure skating. 
  His career was prodigious and widely acknowledged.  Perhaps he is best known for his collection of novels about ‘Mapp & Lucia’ which have proved very popular throughout the decades.   
  Benson was also well regarded as a writer of ghost stories—‘spook stories’ in the then vernacular—as well as biographies.  His ghost and supernatural fiction covered a range of subjects but all were exceptionally well-written, drenched in atmosphere, riven with chills and have stood the test of popularity over the decades as testament to his literary talents.  
  Benson was never married and practised his homosexuality discreetly. 
  E F Benson died on 29th February 1940 at University College Hospital, London of throat cancer.  He was 72.
