  This is the original 1930 story of The Great Airport Mystery: The Hardy Boys Book 9. The book has undergone one major revision since its original publication in 1930, resulting in two different stories bearing the same title. 
  Frank and Joe Hardy drive to see the new Bayport Airport. Before even getting there the boys are almost run over by an airplane flown by the airmail pilot Giles Ducroy. As a result of the event, Ducroy loses his job, blames the boys, and then frames them for a mail robbery. Although the boys don’t have an alibi they are bailed out of jail by Mr. Applegate (from The Tower Treasure) and Mr. Jefferson (from The Mystery of Cabin Island). The Hardy boys overhear Ducroy and two other criminals planning a major robbery. The boys find out that Ducroy and company bought an airplane. In order to keep up with the gang they decide to stow in the back of the airplane. Ducroy and company make a daring and dangerous attempt to steal a major payroll from the airmail plane. The Hardy boys manage to capture the thieves with the help of the targeted pilot. He ends up using the crooks’ plane to deliver his cargo. The boys are vindicated when they bring in the real mail robbers, plus having averted a major robbery. 
  Much has changed in America since 1930. The modern listener may be delighted with the warmth and innocence of the characters, but uncomfortable with the racial, social, and sexist terms and stereotypes. As such, this book is a part of our heritage, a window into our real past.

  Death-Wish

  Death-Wish by Ray Bradbury - They wandered the dead and fragile cities, looking for the legendary Blue Bottle–not knowing what it was, nor caring, not really wanting to find it… ever… 
  The sundials were tumbled into white pebbles. The birds of the air now flew in ancient skies of rock and sand, buried, their songs stopped. The rivers were currented with dust which flooded across the land when the wind bade it reenact an old tale of engulfment. The cities were deep laid with granaries of silence, time stored and kept, golden kernels of forgetfulness, pools and fountains of quietude and memory.  
  Mars was dead.  
  And then out of the large stillness, from a great distance, on the stones of an old highway, there was a tiny sound. First, like an insect, and growing larger, between the cinnamon hills, and finally broadening, flattening out, the sound buzzing and humming, while something moved, growing big. 
  The highway trembled. The rocks ground one upon another briefly. The sound grew into a thunder which shook down avalanches of dust in the old cities.

  Christopher Rabbit turned the pages of the Bible, but it was getting dark and quite hard to read. Caravan Bear fetched an oil lamp. Whitby and Hector drew nearer.
   
  "Some wise men had heard about the birth of Jesus," Christopher Rabbit said. "They wanted to see him..."
   
  Caravan Bear once again hitches up Hector the horse to the brightly painted gypsy-style caravan and, with Whitby the dog and Christopher Rabbit, sets off in search of new adventures.
   
  Enjoy Rabbit's storytelling along the way, interrupted by frequent questions from the travellers and other animals they meet. Do you think Jesus knew he was God's son when he was twelve? Why did Jesus want John to baptize him? Did Jesus like being famous? Why didn't Pilate release Jesus?
   
  The Animals' Caravan has echoes of children's classics such as The Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland, as the caravan travellers form a great friendship on their journey together.
