  "Baby's Own Aesop" presents the fables as one-stanza limericks, each "pictorially pointed" by Walter Crane, the noted painter and illustrator. He apprenticed to master wood-engraver, William James Linton, who furnished the draft of the book's poems for Crane to edit. "Baby's Own Aesop" is available in a beautiful facsimile edition of colored engravings from the International Children's Digital Library, with which your child can read along while listening to the recording.

  Ritchie discovers and obstructs truths, like the difficulty of being at the bar and being a lilac bush simultaneously.
  I bought tear-resistant pants
  
  just in case
  
  
  
  I'm not
  
  
  
  a good guy underneath it all,
  
  being honest in discreet doses
  
  to underpaid retail employees.
  
  
  
  With an alternating sense of wonder and detachment, Jay Ritchie's first full-length collection of poetry grapples with death, disappointment, love, emails - the large and small subjects of daily life. His unflagging sense of humour and aphoristic delivery create a work that is personable yet elevated, witty, and honest.

  An extraordinary and disturbing play about post-Communist Russia by a young Siberian-born writer.
  Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright
  Anti-Booker Prize, Moscow
  In a faceless city in the depths of present-day Russia a young boy dies. Women in the street are drunk, fight and demand sex. Maksim, a schoolboy, makes his way through this urban hell. His only retreat is into a private world moulded by himself, out of which springs a final act of reckless courage.
  'Watching this impressive and disturbing howl of a play by the young Russian writer, Vassily Sigarev, is like taking a walk through a rough, druggy London scene after closing time... it has flashes of almost comic grotesquery, vividly communicates an alarming sense of contemporary urban Russia on the verge of anarchy and breakdown' - Evening Standard
  'This extraordinary play lasts only 75 minutes, but watching Dominic Cooke's brilliant production you feel you have been to hell and back. Plasticine offers a nightmarish trip to the lower depths of contemporary Russia, and the sheer power of the staging leaves you reeling' - Daily Telegraph

  This is one of three plays Shaw published as Plays Unpleasant in 1898; they were termed "unpleasant" because they were intended, not to entertain their audiences—as traditional Victorian theatre was expected to—but to raise awareness of social problems and to censure exploitation of the laboring class by the unproductive rich. In this play, Dr. Harry Trench becomes disillusioned when he discovers how his fiancee's father, Mr. Sartorius, makes his money. However, it is soon revealed that Trench's own income is far from untainted. (Summary by wildemoose and Wikipedia)Cast:Dr. Harry Trench: engineerdstMr. William de Burgh Cokane: David GoldfarbMr. Sartorius: DrakaunusBlanche Sartorius: Arielle LipshawMr. Lickcheese: Algy PugWaiter: balaPorter: David OlsonParlour Maid/Narrator: Elizabeth KlettAudio edited by: Arielle Lipshaw
