  Do you want to listen to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow? If so then keep reading…Widely recognized as one of literature's most gripping ghost stories, this classic tale of moral degradation concerns the sinister transformation of two innocent children into flagrant liars and hypocrites. The story begins when a governess arrives at an English country estate to look after Miles, aged ten, and Flora, eight. At first, everything appears normal but then events gradually begin to weave a spell of psychological terror.One night a ghost appears before the governess. It is the dead lover of Miss Jessel, the former governess. Later, the ghost of Miss Jessel herself appears before the governess and the little girl. Moreover, both the governess and the housekeeper suspect that the two spirits have appeared to the boy in private. The children, however, adamantly refuse to acknowledge the presence of the two spirits, in spite of indications that there is some sort of evil communication going on between the children and the ghosts.Without resorting to clattering chains, demonic noises, and other melodramatic techniques, this elegantly told tale succeeds in creating an atmosphere of tingling suspense and unspoken horror matched by few other books in the genre. Known for his probing psychological novels dealing with the upper classes, James in this story tried his hand at the occult — and created a masterpiece of the supernatural that has frightened and delighted readers for nearly a century.What are you waiting for, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one click away, start listening NOW!

  Travel around the world with the perpetually unruffled Phileas Fogg and his stalwart French valet Passepartout in this new "update" of the classic novel's original English translation - 150 years after its publication. 
  Laugh at the ironic jibes and the bumbling Detective Fix, gasp at the high adventure and perilous misadventures, and feel the thrill of haste and ingenuity, but no longer wince at badly aged language and harmful stereotypes. This gentle modernization changes only as much as necessary and retains everything that has made this novel an immortal classic. 
  Genuinely funny and duly iconic, Jules Verne's greatest classic will hopefully continue to inspire and delight readers for another 150 years. The humble adjustments of this edition are meant to benefit this happy legacy.
