  Britain won the Moon Race! Decades before Neal Armstrong took his "giant leap for mankind" two intrepid adventurers from Lympne, England, journeyed there using not a rocket, but an antigravity coating. Mr. Bedford, who narrates the tale, tells of how he fell in with eccentric inventor Mr. Cavor, grew to believe in his research, helped him build a sphere for traveling in space, and then partnered with him in an expedition to the Moon. What they found was fantastic! There was not only air and water but the Moon was honeycombed with caverns and tunnels in which lived an advanced civilization of insect-like beings. While Bedford is frightened by them and bolts home, Cavor stays and is treated with great respect. So why didn't Armstrong and later astronauts find the evidence of all this? Well, according to broadcasts by Cavor over the newly-discovered radio technology, he told the Selenites too much about mankind, and apparently, they removed the welcome mat! Herbert George Wells was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography.

  What happens when an entire society loses its sense of humor, and one man's monumental prank sparks a brutal, glorious revolution? 
  Welcome to a dull, dystopian future London where democracy has devolved into a randomized lottery, and a whimsical intellectual named Auberon Quin is unexpectedly crowned King. Desperate to cure the world's terminal boredom, King Auberon decrees that every London neighborhood must return to medieval feudalism—complete with city walls, towering halberdiers, and grand coats of arms. 
  The city's bureaucrats are furious, but they play along with the joke. Until they encounter Adam Wayne, a passionate nineteen-year-old fanatic who takes the eccentric edicts entirely to heart. As the Provost of Notting Hill, Wayne refuses to let developers build a modern road through his beloved neighborhood. Armed with a sword, unyielding zeal, and the legal backing of the King's own absurd charter, Wayne rallies the ordinary shopkeepers and dentists of Notting Hill to wage a bloody, spectacular war against the encroaching empires of Bayswater and Kensington. 
  Why you will love this: Fans of Satirical Speculative Fiction will be captivated by this prophetic, hilariously profound masterpiece. Chesterton brilliantly weaves political satire, classic dystopian tropes, and dark humor, creating a philosophical tale that is both deeply witty and surprisingly moving. If you enjoy thought-provoking, absurdly scaled battles over the mundane, this full audiobook will hold you captive to the very last word. 
  About the Author: G. K. Chesterton was a giant of early 20th-century literature, widely known as the 'prince of paradox.' His wildly inventive, philosophical works profoundly influenced modern speculative and fantasy authors around the world.

  "Adeline Mowbray, or, The Mother and Daughter, is a novel by Amelia Opie that was published in 1804. The experiences of the heroine, Adeline, are loosely based on the unconventional life of Mary Wollstonecraft, an acquaintance of Opie. In the novel, Opie explores what might happen when a woman's idealistic philosophical beliefs conflict with society's notions about female sexuality.    The philosophically minded Adeline decides that marriage is an outmoded institution. She refuses marriage to Frederic Glenmurray (modeled on William Godwin) and instead chooses to live with him as his sexual equal. Although Adeline is honorable, clever, and honest, she faces social condemnation. She is disowned by her mother and respectable friends and harassed by men who assume she is sexually available. After Glenmurray dies, Adeline seeks protection by marrying the abusive Mr. Berrendale, who ultimately abandons her and their daughter, Editha. At the end of the novel, the ill Adeline is finally reunited with her mother. Adeline repents having transgressed society's expectations of women and, before she dies, leaves instructions on how Editha is to be educated."
