Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The traumatic life of J. M. Barrie, source of universal creativity


Originally published in 1918, “Echoes of the War” is a wonderful collection of four short stories involving families affected by First World War by Scottish novelist J. M. Barrie, most famous for writing the children’s story Peter Pan.

In “Echoes of the War,” each of the stories deals with civilian life in London during the war with a touch of drama but also moments of humour. The stories are condensed, but also very well constructed.

    The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy

    Some afternoons are civilized. Others involve Old Biffy.
    Most fellows remember their own weddings. Some even remember where they left their hats. But Biffy? Biffy has somehow managed to misplace a fiancée in the middle of London — while also forgetting which hotel he's staying at in Paris.
    In The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy, P. G. Wodehouse launches listeners headfirst into the delightfully impractical world of Jeeves and Wooster. Between forgotten romances, social catastrophes, and gentlemen attempting to preserve their dignity against impossible odds, this is a masterclass in elegant nonsense — where disaster is never more than one polite conversation away.
    Impeccable wit for listeners who prefer their British humor served with a splash of champagne and one deeply concerned valet.

    Fit a sotter! The Major Investigations Team is on the island and Sergeant Wilson is a woman on a mission.  She must solve the murder of the lighthouse keeper before the MIT eat all the good police biscuits.  The DCI might have ordered her to do door-to-door enquiries, but she was la-la-la-not-listening at the time.  Convinced that the answer lies in Beacon Brodie’s mysterious past, she has instead conscripted the best of the Losers Club minions to discover the truth. 
     
    In the meantime, Gordon and Jim (the Z team) are relegated to discovering the identity of the Vik Vigilante, a shadowy figure exacting revenge on the citizens of Vik.  Why did a celebrity appear naked behind an ornamental magnolia in the garden centre?  Who forced a journalist to eat his own words?  And…gasp…could the vigilante be the killer? 
     
    As the Losers Club friends uncover a midden of lies and deceit, they realise that something far more sinister is at play, and sometimes the truth is best left buried.

    The holidays are always merry, but the mishaps shine bright. 
     
    For many families, the holiday season is—quite frankly—unhinged. Whether that involves inappropriately improvised monologues at the children’s Christmas pageant, gifts that land someone in the emergency room, or just sitting through the emotional rollercoaster of a Hallmark movie marathon,  
    the holidays are a chaotic and magical time. And nobody knows this better than Danny Pellegrino. 
     
    For Danny, the holidays are always accompanied by both merriment and mayhem.  
     
    And like the gay Ghost of Christmas Past, he’s here to take you on a nostalgic trip through his most festive memories in a collection of stories that are heartfelt, hilarious, and (unfortunately) true.  
     
    So grab your favorite winter beverage, snuggle up by the crackling fireplace, and turn up the holiday tunes from the pop diva of your choosing. The Jolliest Bunch is a healthy dose of holiday cheer to prepare you for the frenzied season ahead and remind you of the moments that make all the chaos worth it.

    The holiday classic has never been quite this fabulous! It's now the gayest Christmas story ever told. This modern gay adaptation of A Christmas Carol is filled with humor, dirty double entendres, and just the right amount of "Bah, humpstud!" 
    This irreverent parody starts off with miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge refusing to let his underpaid, under-appreciated employee Bob Cratchit turn up the heat in the drafty office on Christmas Eve, pointing out that there are other ways for Bob to keep warm and keep his job at the same time! The fun continues from there with new twists on all your favorite classic characters and situations. Enjoy an all gay cast of characters along with the familiar structure, lines of classic dialogue, and the overall story of redemption you remember from the original. 
    Listen to A Modern Gay Christmas Carol Parody - you'll have a dickens of a time!
