Summary

In Gelett Burgess's enchanting tale, "The White Cat," readers are transported into a whimsical world where feline mystique intertwines with the exploration of love and identity. Written in a lyrical style that echoes the influence of Edwardian literature, Burgess employs playful verse and vivid imagery, creating a tapestry that invites both young and mature readers to delve into its charm. The narrative dances between the realms of fantasy and reality, blurring the lines with its metaphorical undertones, which reflect societal notions of beauty and superficiality prevalent in the early 20th century. Gelett Burgess, a prominent figure in the world of literary nonsense, was not only a writer but also a painter and illustrator, which undoubtedly enriched his imaginative storytelling. His exposure to aesthetic movements and his personal experiences in the artistic milieu shaped his narrative style and thematic choices in this work. Born in 1866, Burgess's background allows him to craft a narrative that satirizes and delights in equal measure, making insights into human and animal behavior both poignant and entertaining. "The White Cat" is highly recommended for readers seeking a blend of humor, whimsy, and social commentary. It offers profound reflections on love and the nature of attraction, wrapped in a delightful narrative that resonates across generations, making it a timeless read for lovers of imaginative literature.

    In Harper and the Horse Show Sabotage, the second book in the charming middle grade Windy Creek Stables series from author Kaitlyn Sage Patterson, Harper and Presley must uncover the mystery behind who is undermining the stables before it's too late! 
  
Every year, the team at Windy Creek Stables packs up the trailer and makes the trip to the famous Kentucky Horse Park for the best and biggest horse show of the year. Usually, the competition is Harper's favorite thing in the world, and she can't wait to show off for her new best friend, Presley, who is competing for the first time. This year, though, she's more than a little nervous. It's her first time competing against her old barn, Foxcroft Equestrian Center, and she isn't looking forward to seeing the mean girls who still ride there. Her anxiety only increases when she gets a midnight call that Isolde, her beautiful grey Andalusian mare, is sick.  
  
Luckily, Isolde recovers, but when another Windy Creek Stables horse starts to show signs of illness, Harper and Presley know something is up. One sick horse is just a sick horse, but two sick horses are a mystery. The girls must don their detective hats and figure out who's sabotaging the stables before anything else happens … and ace their competition as well, of course!

    YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
Book 3 of 6 – The curse of the lemonade stand 
Here is the summary description of this book: 
In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach—the boy who would become the infamous pirate Blackbeard—leads his crew in a daring lemonade stand scheme at the bustling High Cross market. Using stolen sugar and Anne Bonny’s over-sweetened brew, they attract sailors and merchants alike—until a rival vendor accuses them of sugar theft, a crime punishable by transportation. Facing the constable, Edward spins a tale of the "Sugar Witch," a Barbados hag who curses their lemonade, and sells "anti-curse" potions (dyed with stolen cochineal) to the superstitious crowd. The deception works, earning them enough coin for future adventures while showcasing Edward’s early knack for manipulation and theatrics—traits that would later define Blackbeard’s reign of terror. The story blends historical details of Bristol’s sugar trade and maritime culture with a playful origin for history’s most notorious pirate, proving even legends start small.  
This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this  instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
