Beschreibung

In "Anne of the Island," L. M. Montgomery continues the enchanting journey of Anne Shirley as she transitions from her idyllic childhood in Avonlea to the fertile grounds of higher education at Redmond College. Rich in vivid descriptions and imbued with Montgomery's characteristic whimsy, this novel deftly interweaves themes of friendship, love, and the struggles of self-discovery amidst the pressures of adulthood. The narrative style is laced with poignant reflections and humor, reflecting the societal context of early 20th-century Canada, where emerging women's independence was both celebrated and scrutinized. L. M. Montgomery, born in 1874 in Prince Edward Island, drew heavily from her own experiences in shaping Anne's world. An orphan herself, Montgomery found solace in her imagination and storytelling, elements that resonate throughout Anne's vibrant character. Her deep emotional connection to her homeland is palpable, as the landscapes of Avonlea come to life through her lyrical prose. Montgomery's work reflects her progressive views on education for women, influenced by her own struggles as a writer and scholar in a conservative society. "Anne of the Island" is an invitation to embrace the complexities of growing up with a kindred spirit who delivers both laughter and wisdom. It is a timeless narrative that captivates readers young and old, encouraging them to celebrate their own journeys of discovery and transformation. Montgomery's ability to blend humor with earnestness makes this novel a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and joy in the exploration of life's myriad paths.

    "Don't Mister!" the boy pleaded as his hands went up in front of his face. But at that instant a large copperhead snake slithered from beneath the rotting tree and struck at the man with the empty eyes. The man jerked back as the snake sunk its fangs into his left arm. At the same moment, the boy sprung to his feet and began running once again. The man, curious and distracted, calmly pulled the snake from his arm without a sound and tossed it to the ground. As the boy looked back, a shot split the forest ceiling, and the man with the dark eyes stared at the dead snake. In one awful final glance, the boy saw the man reach down, pick the snake back up and take a slow bite from its side. But when the man--the thing, turned back for the boy, he was gone. In the distance, smoke from a burning cabin told the boy he would never go home again. It was after that when the nightmares began.

    The Scandal of Father Brown was G.K. Chesterton's final set of Father Brown short stories. Also included in this collection is the short story "The Mask of Midas". 
    The enigmatic and diminutive priest continues to fathom the deepest of mysteries in a set of 11 fascinating stories which are set in such diverse locations as a Mexican Hotel, an English Seaside Pier, and an Oxford University Garden. Chesterton presents his humble and blinking detective as an almost childlike contrast to the bizarre and dark machinations of the fallen world. And yet Father Brown is far from a saintly figure; with his enjoyment of good wine and cigars, he is fully in the world but not of the world. Indeed, it is his accurate and insightful reading of Men and Women's souls that often lead him to understand their actions and motives. If any has taken to heart Christ's admonition to be as “wise as serpents and harmless as doves" it is Father Brown! 
    Head Stories Audio presents "The Scandal of Father Brown" :narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

    "Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring!"
    
    When Jonathan Harker travels to the Carpathian Mountains to finalize a real estate transaction with a mysterious nobleman, he has no idea he is walking into a living nightmare. Bram Stoker's Dracula redefined horror forever, introducing a villain who is as sophisticated as he is monstrous—a predator who can command the elements, vanish into mist, and feast upon the blood of the living.
    
    A Masterpiece of Suspense: Told through a gripping collection of private journals, telegrams, and ship's logs, the story follows the Count's predatory journey from his crumbling castle in Transylvania to the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London. As a small group of brave souls—led by the eccentric polymath Abraham Van Helsing—unite to track the vampire, they must confront not only a physical monster but the dark, repressed desires of the human psyche.
    
    The Birth of Modern Mythology: Dracula is the ultimate exploration of the Victorian fear of the "Other." It blends ancient folklore with the cutting-edge science of the 19th century, featuring blood transfusions and dictaphones alongside crucifixes and garlic. More than a century later, Stoker's creation remains the gold standard for horror, a chilling reminder that some shadows never truly fade.
    
    Don't look back. Purchase "Dracula" today and experience the original pulse-pounding tale of the undead.
