    "It takes a long time to grow a soul, but it's a fascinating process."
    
    Jo March has found her true calling. Alongside her husband, Professor Bhaer, she has opened the doors of Plumfield, an estate turned school where "naughty" boys are given the freedom to grow, learn, and find their better selves. Moving away from the rigid discipline of the Victorian era, Plumfield is a place of pillow fights, gardening, and deep moral lessons, where every child—from the street-smart orphan Nat to the rebellious "wild boy" Dan—is treated with the love and respect they deserve.
    
    A New Generation of the March Family: While Jo remains the beating heart of the story, Little Men introduces a delightful new cast. Watch as Meg's twins, the studious Demi and the domestic Daisy, navigate their childhoods alongside a ragtag group of students. The novel captures the humor and heartache of growing up, proving that the lessons learned on the playground are often as important as those learned from books.
    
    The Philosophy of Kindness: Alcott draws on her own transcendentalist upbringing to create a story that championed progressive education long before it was mainstream. Little Men is a celebration of character-building, gender equality, and the redemptive power of a second chance. It remains a comforting, essential read for anyone who believes that every child has a "gold mine" of potential waiting to be discovered.
    
    Step back into the world of the Marches. Purchase "Little Men" today and experience the joy of Plumfield.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic gothic novella exploring the both the good and evil sides of human nature. 
     
     Seeking to isolate his darker impulses, Dr. Jekyll develops a potion.  Drinking it transforms him into Edward Hyde - a smaller, younger, and purely evil persona.  Jekyll enjoys the freedom of being Hyde, who commits violent acts, such as trampling a child and murdering Sir Danvers Carew. Jekyll maintains a separate home for Hyde. 
     
    Jekyll finds himself turning into Hyde involuntarily, even without the potion. The potion begins to lose its effectiveness, as the salt used for it was impure.  Hyde takes over completely, and Jekyll locks himself in his laboratory, eventually running out of the necessary ingredients for the potion. 
     
    Jekyll loses control as Hyde takes over fully, leading them both to their deaths.

    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.
