  As a former Texas Ranger, Charlie "Catfish Charlie" Tuttle spent the good part of his life catching outlaws. Happily retired in Wolfwater, Texas, he's content just catching fish—namely Bubba, the wily old catfish who lives in the pond near Charlie's shack and keeps slipping off Charlie's hook. He also likes hanging out with his trusty tomcat Hooligan Hank and tossing back bottles of mustang berry wine. Sure, his glory days are behind him. There's no reason for Charlie to even think about coming out of retirement . . .  
   
   
   
  It starts with a jailbreak. Frank Thorson and his gang ride into Wolfwater to bust Frank's brother out of the slammer. First, they slaughter the deputy. Then, the town marshal. Finally, they run off with the marshal's daughter and no one's sure if she's dead or alive. The townsfolk are desperate enough to ask that drunken old coot Catfish Charlie to put down his fishing pole and wine bottles, pick up his Colt Army .44, and go after the bloodthirsty gang. Sure, Catfish Charlie may be a bit rusty after all these years. But when it comes to serving up justice, no one is quicker, faster—or deadlier . . .

  From the timeless storytelling tradition of The Arabian Nights comes a tale of wit, magic, and unexpected fortune. 
  In The Story of the Fisherman and the Genie, an aging fisherman struggles each day to provide for his family, casting his nets into the sea with little success. On what seems to be another day of disappointment, he pulls from the water a strange sealed copper vessel—an object that soon unleashes a terrifying surprise. 
  From the vessel emerges a powerful genie, imprisoned centuries ago by the great King Solomon. But freedom has not softened the spirit’s heart. Instead of gratitude, the fisherman is promised death. 
  Faced with certain doom, the humble fisherman must rely on quick thinking and courage to outwit the ancient spirit. What follows is a clever contest of wits that transforms a moment of despair into an adventure filled with mystery, wonder, and unexpected riches. 
  Retold by Kate Douglas Wiggin, this classic Eastern folktale captures the enduring themes of justice, intelligence, and the triumph of wisdom over brute strength. Filled with magical encounters, royal intrigue, and hidden kingdoms, the story remains one of the most beloved tales drawn from the legendary world of The Thousand and One Nights. 
  Narrated with warmth and storytelling clarity by Liz Leafloor, this audiobook brings new life to a tale that has captivated listeners for generations.

  Since their adored father, Lord Shenley, passed away, the beautiful young Kyla Shenley and her little brother, Terry, have no one to care for them except for their despised stepmother, Sybil, who has already taken a lover and is plotting to get her greedy hands on the children’s large inheritance.
   
  When Kyla overhears her plans to ensure that young Terry has a ‘fatal accident’ and to drug Kyla and hand her over to a ghastly old man called ‘Lord Frome’ to face a life of debauchery, she sees no alternative but for them both to flee as far away as possible from their appalling stepmother.
   
  Heading for Lilliecote Castle and their beloved Nanny who works there for the Earl of Granston, they are accosted by a highwayman in a wood, but he turns out to be a particularly nice ‘gentleman of the road’, who demands only one of their sandwiches and even offers his protection should they find themselves in dire straits.
   
  When they arrive at The Castle, Nanny suggests that the Master, the Earl of Granston, should not be aware of their identities in case their wicked stepmother comes there seeking them.
   
  And, passing off Kyla as a new Governess to the Earl’s young niece, Jane, Nanny shows them how to hide in The Castle’s ancient secret passages and Priests’ Holes.
   
  But, as the handsome and authoritative Earl takes them under his wing, he suspects that there is more to the lovely Kyla than meets the eye.
   
  So eventually it is he, together with their highwayman friend, who defeats the Wicked Widow and her gang of evil accomplices in a terrifying battle in which the Earl wins Kyla’s heart and soul.
