Sinopse

Clarence Mulford's "The Bar-20 Trilogy" encapsulates the quintessential spirit of the American West through a riveting tale of camaraderie, adventure, and rugged morality. Comprising 'Bar-20', 'Bar-20 Days', and 'The Bar-20 Three', this complete series presents a vivid narrative woven with rich characterizations and evocative descriptions of the frontier landscape. Mulford's literary style blends a direct and accessible prose with vivid imagery, reflecting the societal values and conflicts of the early 20th century Western genre, while also subverting some traditional tropes through its nuanced portrayal of cowboy life and interpersonal relationships. Clarence Mulford, a prominent writer of the early pulp fiction movement, drew inspiration from his own experiences in the American West, much of which influenced his artistic vision. He infused his writings with authenticity derived from a deep engagement with the cultural zeitgeist of his time, capturing both the romance and hardships of life on the frontier. His understanding of the cowboy ethos, coupled with a willingness to challenge stereotypes, positions him as a pivotal figure in Western literature. For readers seeking an immersive journey into the West, "The Bar-20 Trilogy" is an essential read. It offers a vibrant tapestry of action, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of justice, encapsulated in stories that celebrate the resilience of the human spirit and the bonds forged in the untamed wilderness.

So accustomed are we to numerous cinematic films depicting Dinosaurs (resurrected from their extinction through various dramatic devices) running amok amongst the human race, from King Kong to Jurassic Park, that we forget that it was the creator of Sherlock Holmes who was amongst the first to imagine such a scenario. 
 After so many years of the cerebral Holmes, Conan Doyle must have revelled in his colourful new character of Professor Challenger. He is a bear of a man with an appetite for self-advancement, adventure and controversy who leads an expedition into the forests of South America to vindicate his claim that a lost world lay hidden in that vast continent. 
This is Conan Doyle away from the constraints of Baker Street and one gets the feeling that the author makes the most of the possibilities, pitting his heroes against dinosaurs, treacherous guides, inhospitable terrain and not least a race of vicious ape men. 
Conan tells his rip-roaring adventure with all his usual descriptive skill and verve. 
Head Stories presents Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

However, rumours and scandals brew when the charming but deceitful Mr. Wickham arrives in Meryton. Jealous Caroline Bingley fans the flames against the Bennets, but level-headed Charlotte manoeuvres each challenge with grace. 
As Elizabeth warily forms a complex acquaintance with the aloof Mr. Darcy, Wickham’s schemes threaten to tear them apart. But with Charlotte’s wise counsel, Elizabeth unravels Wickham’s lies and protects the vulnerable Georgiana Darcy, earning Darcy’s undying respect and admiration. 
Follow the romantic adventures of the Bennet sisters as Charlotte's steady guidance steers them towards happier fates than they ever imagined possible. With resilience and compassion, love finds a way, demonstrating the enduring power of family.

When searching through Conan Doyle's papers, Hesketh Pearson, a biographer of his, came across a plan for an unwritten story. As Richard Lancelyn Green notes, "there is no evidence to show that it is by [Conan Doyle] and strong internal evidence to suggest that it's not". Various authors have attempted to complete the story (named "The Adventure of the Tall Man" by Peter Haining) and put it alongside the canon. Some are very close to Doyle's plot, others including variations. However no 'official' completion has been made.
