Summary

Beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy, Emma Woodhouse lives in the quiet village of Highbury, convinced that her talent for matchmaking is flawless. Determined to pair off her friends, she soon discovers that her plans are not always as perfect as she imagines—and that true love may be hiding where she least expects it.

First published in 1815, Emma is one of Jane Austen's most ingenious and refined works. With her characteristic humor, irony, and sharp social observation, the author portrays the customs of Georgian England and introduces us to one of her most memorable heroines: imperfect, endearing, and full of life.

Title: The Shadow 
Author: Hans Christian Andersen 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1847 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 76 
Description: 
The Shadow is one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most unsettling tales — a dark allegory of identity, ambition, and the divided self. A learned man’s shadow detaches itself, slowly gaining independence and power, until it comes to dominate the very person who once cast it. 
Told with quiet menace and philosophical precision, the story explores the danger of denying one’s darker nature and the triumph of intellect without conscience. Its horror is subtle and inevitable, unfolding through irony and psychological tension rather than spectacle. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance highlights the story’s cold elegance and creeping dread. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, The Shadow endures as a chilling reminder that the most frightening monsters are often our own reflections.

    Robert Barr was born in Glasgow, Scotland on the 16th September 1849.  Five years later the family emigrated to a farm near Muirkirk in Upper Canada.  
His early years were uneventful as the family settled into their new lives and Barr began his education. 
A career path as a teacher opened up for him and, by 1874, he had been appointed as headmaster at the Central School at Windsor.  Concurrently he also wrote travel and humourous articles for magazines.  Within two years their success in the regional periodicals encouraged him to change careers to become a reporter and columnist. 
In August 1876, at age 27, he married Eva Bennett and they began a family. 
A half decade later he was the exchange editor of the ‘Free Press’ but decided to relocate to London to establish an English edition and to write fiction, which both met with much success. 
Over the years he was a prolific writer and in 1892, along with Jerome K Jerome, he established ‘The Idler’ magazine and, just after the turn of the century, became its sole proprietor. 
Although a number of his crime novels and short stories are parodies on Sherlock Holmes and other best-selling detectives of the time, he also wrote short stories across a whole range of subjects and genres usually with intriguing ideas and many laced with wit and humour. 
Robert Barr died at his home in Woldingham, Surrey of heart disease on the 21st October 1912.  He was 63.

    "The Philosophy of Furniture" is an essay written by American author Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1840. It presents Poe's theories on interior decorating.
Poe begins by suggesting that the English are the "supreme" examples of internal decoration, above the Italians, French, Chinese, Scotch, Dutch, Spanish and Russians. "Yankees", he says, "are preposterous". He blames this American failing on a lack of aristocracy by blood, having instead "an aristocracy of dollars". Because of that, decoration in America has become a "mere parade of costly appurtenances" to create an "impression of the beautiful". He contrasts this with England, where wealth is not the loftiest ambition to constitute "nobility".
