A.A. Milne will be forever associated with the timeless "Winnie the Pooh" books. In the Pooh stories and in his poetry for children Milne was able to enter the world of childhood in a unique way. Adults continue to enjoy the books as precious windows into their own childhood memories but also because the writing has a wry and winsome humour that speaks to any age. Yet Milne was a successful writer of humour long before he created these children's masterpieces, producing a fine body of articles, novels and plays. 
"Mr Pim Passes By" is Milne's own adaptation of his successful play of the same name, first produced in 1919 and running for 246 performances. 
The somewhat self-centred and over comfortable world of George Marden is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of the somewhat aged and confused Mr Pim. This seemingly routine social visit throws George and his family into a comic situation which raises serious questions about a past determined to rear its disturbing head! 
Head Stories Audio presents " Mr Pim Passes By" by A. A. Milne - narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

The Red and the Black is a psychological and political novel by Stendhal that follows the ambitious rise and tragic fall of Julien Sorel, a poor young man determined to climb the ranks of French society during the Restoration era. Torn between his intellectual aspirations, romantic passions, and the social forces of church and state, Julien attempts to forge his own path through charm, manipulation, and raw determination.Stendhal paints a sharp and ironic portrait of 19th-century France, exposing the hypocrisy of its institutions and the moral contradictions of its elite. The novel blends realism with a deep psychological insight into its protagonist, making The Red and the Black not just a story of one man's ambition, but also a powerful critique of class, power, and illusion.
