He combines a gripping, melodramatic plot with a rich and memorable cast of characters, some comic, some tragic, some eccentric and some exemplary, like the generous-spirited Joe Gargery. The tale is told by Pip, an orphan of humble origins, who rises to be a gentleman through a mysterious benefactor. But his world is turned upside-down by a revelation, the nature of which he could never have guessed. This audiobook is read for you by Martin Jarvis.

    Love and Freindship and Other...

    Jane Austen

    This book draws together some of Jane Austen's earliest literary efforts. It includes "Love & Freindship" and "Lesley Castle" both told through the medium of letters written by the characters. It also contains her wonderful "History of England" and a "Collection of Letters" and lastly a chapter containing "Scraps". In these offerings, we may see the beginnings of Miss Austen's literary style. We may also discern traces of characters that we encounter in her later works. G. K. Chesterton in his preface, for example, says of a passage in Love and Freindship; "... is there not the foreshadowing of another and more famous father; and do we not hear for a moment, in the rustic cottage by the Uske, the unmistakable voice of Mr. Bennet?" These works are certainly worth exploring for their own sakes and not simply as historical relics.
 
Austen wrote Love and Freindship when she was only 14 years old, hence the typo in the title.

    Gulliver's Travels," originally titled "Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver," is a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver as he embarks on voyages to fantastical lands, including Lilliput, where people are only six inches tall, and Brobdingnag, a land of giants. While the book is often considered a children's story due to its fantastical elements, it is also a biting satire of human nature, government, and the "traveller's tales" literary subgenre.
