Sinossi

Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope Phineas Finn is a novel by Anthony Trollope and the name of its leading character. The novel was first published as a monthly serial from October 1867 to May 1868 in St Paul's Magazine.

It is the second of the "Palliser" series of novels. Its sequel, Phineas Redux, is the fourth novel in the series. The character of Phineas Finn is said to have been partly inspired by Sir John Pope Hennessy (grandfather of the museum director of the same name), a Roman Catholic from Cork, who was elected as an "Irish Nationalist Conservative" Member of Parliament for King's County in 1859.

It deals with both British parliamentary politics of the 1860s, including voting reform (secret ballot and eliminating rotten boroughs and Irish tenant-right) and Finn's romances with women of fortune, which would secure his financial future.

Finn is the only son of a successful Irish doctor, Dr Malachi Finn of Killaloe, County Clare, who sends him to London to become a lawyer. He proves to be a lackadaisical student, but being pleasant company and strikingly handsome to boot, he makes many influential friends. One of them, a politician, Barrington Erle, suggests that he stand for Parliament in the coming election.

    Guided by a flock of Canadian geese, Mama and Papa Poss travel north of the 49th parallel by hot air balloon, averting a sudden crash landing thanks to the owl-eyed songstress, Madame Grand Duke, who swoops to the rescue. As they touch down in Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula, she shares an unusual predicament: a pimple on her tongue, preventing her from performing tongue-twisting turlutage lines like tidli-didli-dum, tika-tika tidli-dum! Can Mama and Papa Poss help her pop free in time to perform at Joe Robichaud’s rootsy cabaret? 

The narrated story is followed by the songs "Hot Air Balloon" and "Funny Reel."

“Flying High All the Way to Québec!“is the sixth story in the “We’re a Possum Family Band” series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels that bring them across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music.

    YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
The case of the stolen penny farthing bicycle. 
This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only 99 pence, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
The story itself runs to about just over 5 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
The story involves the theft of a penning farthing bicycle owned by the son, Leopold 12 years old of the Duke of Westminster, who live in Grosvenor Square London in the late 1900's. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery with aplomb and goes onto his next case. 
The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
