    "The Nightingale and the Rose" A nightingale overhears a student complaining that the professor's daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose; a lizard, a butterfly and a daisy laugh at the student for doing so. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the roses tells her there is a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night with her heart pressing into a thorn, sacrificing her life.

    Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.

    Hard Times - Stories For Everyone

    “Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.” 
 
― Charles Dickens, Hard Times 
 
Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. 
 
Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town. 
 
The story concerns one Thomas Gradgrind, a "fanatic of the demonstrable fact," who raises his children, Tom and Louisa, in a stifling and arid atmosphere of grim practicality. A classic audiobook publishing event. Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.

    Title: The Dunwich Horror — Part 4 of 10 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1929 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 4 of 10 
Description: 
Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s chilling masterpiece of cosmic dread: The Dunwich Horror. 
The strange occurrences at the Whateley farmhouse intensify. Wilbur Whateley’s unnatural growth and mysterious abilities are only the beginning, as the unseen presence in the attic grows ever more powerful. Shadows move where they should not, the hills tremble with otherworldly force, and the village whispers of terror spread farther than ever. 
Locked away with his grandfather, Wilbur nurtures a secret that is too vast, too alien, and too hungry to remain hidden. Every sound, every shadow, hints at the approaching horror, and the villagers’ fear grows alongside the incomprehensible forces at work. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Lovecraft’s cosmic horror vividly to life, exploring the thin boundary between human reality and ancient, unknowable forces. 
This is Part 4 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare continues.
