  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Well, here we are, and if you cast your eye over the room you will see that Tubes and trams and omnibuses, private carriages not a few, even, I venture to believe, landaus with bays in them, have been busy at it, weaving threads from one end of London to the other. Yet I begin to have my doubts— 
  If indeed it's true, as they're saying, that Regent Street is up, and the Treaty signed, and the weather not cold for the time of year, and even at that rent not a flat to be had, and the worst of influenza its after effects; if I bethink me of having forgotten to write about the leak in the larder, and left my glove in the train; if the ties of blood require me, leaning forward, to accept cordially the hand which is perhaps offered hesitatingly— 
  "Seven years since we met!" 
  "The last time in Venice."

  In the story, the Cowardly Lion believes that he has depleted the reserve of courage imbued in him by the Wizard (as told in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz). Someone soon misdirects the Lion into thinking that he can only replenish his courage by eating a courageous man. Since the Lion dislikes the notion of harming anyone, he resolves to do the deed as quickly as possible, and so embarks on his quest.    Unbeknownst to the Lion, he is being hunted by two would-be hunters: a circus clown named Notta Bit More, and an orphaned boy named Bobby Downs, whom Notta calls Bob Up. Notta accidentally said the magic spell that sent Bob and him to the Munchkin land of Mudge, where the tyrannical and cranky ruler, Mustafa, sends them on their quest: two cowardly lion hunters hunting a Cowardly Lion.

  The Relation of My Imprisonment...

  “Banks has skillfully used his repertoire of contemporary techniques to write a novel that is classically American—a dark, but sometimes funny, romance with echoes of Poe and Melville.” — Washington Post 
  ""A marvelously written little book, fascinatingly intricate, yet deceptively simple. Well worth reading more than once."" — New York Times Book Review 
  From acclaimed author Russell Banks comes a work of fiction utilizing a form invented in the seventeenth century by imprisoned Puritan divines 
  Designed to be exemplary, works of this type were aimed at brethren outside the prison walls and functioned primarily as figurative dramatizations of the tests of faith all true believers must endure. These “relations,” framed by scripture and by a sermon explicating the text, were usually read aloud in weekly or monthly installments during religious services. Utterly sincere and detailed recountings of suffering, they were nonetheless highly artificial. To use the form self-consciously, as Banks has done, is not to parody it so much as to argue good-humoredly with the mind it embodies, to explore and, if possible, to map the limits of that mind, the more intelligently to love it.

  She’s a ray of sunshine. He’s a moody man. Can Christmas rekindle the spark that once fused their hearts? 
  When Ivy, Countess of Ritchfield, arrives at the earldom’s country estate for one of the chilliest Christmases on record, she discovers she won’t be alone for the holiday. Her husband of nearly thirty years is already there. Robert’s unexpected presence means they’ll be forced to spend time together—something they haven’t done much of for the past decade. 
  Ever since his countess began living in London year-round, and with his four children grown and on their own, Robert has struggled with loneliness. Seeking to escape the ghosts of his past, he flees to the earldom’s seat in York on the worst day of winter to spend a fortnight at Ritchfield Park. 
  When his wife arrives with the same intention, he wonders if their forced proximity will revive what’s become an ambivalent relationship. Despite the winter cold and incessant snow, will they have a second chance at love? The Christmas season may find hearts thawing and second-chance love blooming for The Ivy of an Earl.
