Summary

In the 'FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT Ultimate Collection (Illustrated),' readers are transported into the enchanting worlds crafted by one of the most beloved authors of children's literature. This comprehensive anthology features Burnett's timeless classics, including 'The Secret Garden,' 'A Little Princess,' and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy,' celebrated for their lyrical prose and rich, detailed illustrations. Each story is imbued with themes of resilience, transformation, and the redemptive power of nature, inviting young readers and adults alike to explore the profound emotional landscapes of her characters amidst the socio-cultural backdrop of Victorian England. Frances Hodgson Burnett was a pioneering figure in children's literature, drawing on her own experiences of hardship and her keen observations of society. Born in Manchester, England, in 1849, Burnett immigrated to America, where she faced various challenges that informed her storytelling. Her works often reflect a deep empathy for the struggles of children, particularly those experiencing loss or loneliness. Through intricate character development and magical realism, Burnett crafted narratives that resonate with audiences while addressing broader issues of class and gender. This Ultimate Collection is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the heartwarming yet poignant narratives that have shaped children's literature. Ideal for both new and seasoned readers, it illuminates Burnett's ability to blend imagination with social commentary, making her stories as relevant today as they were over a century ago.

    Agaton Sax, private detective and editor of the world’s smallest newspaper (but also the best) loves a good trick. 
    Mind you, a brain like his is hard to fool. 
    So when the marvellous Max Brothers - conjurors extraordinaire - come to Byköping just days after a daring raid on the Bank of England, the stage is set for a magical mystery that will take Agaton and Inspector Lispington across Europe by train, car, plane, helicopter and… barrel. 
    The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. 
    Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.

    Welcome dear Listener! We are glad to have you join us for Root & Twig Sounds classic novel experience of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, told with the power of a soundscape audiobook production. 
    Experience the wonder of the classic tales of Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India, as well as the unforgettable characters of Shere-Khan, Baloo, Bagheera and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. The Jungle Book was written by Rudyard Kipling as an anthology of seven stories featuring a variety of animals and their relationship to mankind. Originally published in 1894, it is our distinct pleasure to present to you a new way to experience the story - a 'soundscape audiobook'. A word-for-word production, this is not merely an ‘adaptation’ or ‘radio drama'. This is a way to experience the story as if you are within the very pages of the tale.
