Sinopse

The "L. Frank Baum Ultimate Collection" is a monumental compendium featuring 49 of Baum's most celebrated novels and stories, including the iconic "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." This collection showcases his distinctive literary style, characterized by imaginative narratives, whimsical characters, and rich descriptive language that captivates readers of all ages. Baum's storytelling transcends simple children's literature; his works often incorporate themes of adventure, personal growth, and the importance of friendship, reflecting the early 20th-century American spirit of exploration and optimism. The collection not only explores fantastical realms but also serves as a profound commentary on societal values and the human experience. L. Frank Baum, an innovative author and playwright, possessed a profound understanding of children's emotions and dreams, largely driven by his own experiences. Growing up in the rapidly changing landscape of America, Baum was influenced by the burgeoning industrial age and the rise of the traveling theater. His upbringing and career led him to envision a world of boundless possibilities, where fantasy could inspire courage and challenge social norms. This ultimate collection is a treasure trove for both devoted fans of Baum and newcomers alike. It invites readers to immerse themselves in a remarkable world filled with enchantment and moral lessons. Ideal for literary enthusiasts, educators, and families, this anthology serves as a vital gateway into the imaginative legacy of one of America's most cherished storytellers.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 2 of 7  The Tale of Anne Whittle /Old Chattox 
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Anne Whittle, known as Old Chattox, was once a beloved healer in Lancashire, her voice and herbal wisdom cherished by her village. But years of hardship turned her into a bitter outcast. When a devastating drought struck, her desperate plea to the spirits brought not salvation, but a flood—and with it, accusations of witchcraft. Betrayed by her former friend Demdike and cornered by a starving village, Chattox confessed to a devil’s pact to save her daughter, Anne Redferne, from execution. Condemned as a witch, she faced the gallows with defiance, whispering to the earth itself: "The earth remembers me." Her death did not silence her. To this day, her spirit lingers on Pendle Hill, a ghostly reminder of injustice, her voice carried by the wind—a cunning woman who refused to be forgotten.  
    This is the second book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3 dollars, 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 plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
    The story itself runs to about 13 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.

    Kirkus Best Book “An unforgettable adventure with a deeply endearing, slightly chaotic heroine.” —Kyle Lukoff, author of Newbery Honor book Too Bright to See 
    “All the suspense and intrigue of a middle-school Da Vinci Code. Fast-paced fun and plenty of charm to boot.” —Christopher Healy, author of No One Leaves the Castle 
    “Thrilling.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
    “Surprises aplenty, real danger, and lots of laughs.” —Booklist (starred review) 
    From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler meets Indiana Jones! A young adventurer races to break the family curse by repatriating the artifacts her famed ancestor “saved.” Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Kwame Mbalia, and Rena Barron. 
    Cincinnati Lee’s great great (great?) grandfather is famous. His adventures discovering ancient artifacts have been made into movies, and his work is widely respected by museums across the world. The thing is, in that line of work, you’re bound to get cursed. And that leaves your great great (great?) granddaughter to break the curse by returning the artifacts you “preserved.” 
    Cincinnati’s own adventure begins in the Cosmopolitan Museum in New York City, where her single mom works and Cincinnati has grown up. Soon she learns about the ancient Spear of Destiny—and its potential to right all the wrongs in her family’s past. Or bring about the end of the world. It all depends on whose hands it falls into. Cincinnati must beat two relic hunters to the spear, and her quest will take her to surprising locations throughout the city and even across the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, she’ll make a new friend (which is not the easiest thing to do), make some enemies (surprisingly easy to do), and ultimately learn what makes the world worth saving. Acclaimed author Heidi Heilig makes a dazzling middle grade debut with an irrepressible hero, a compelling cast of friends and enemies, nonstop action, and a thoughtful approach to viewing our responsibilities to each other and the world around us.
