  Can this legendary hero keep his humble tavern safe from criminals, corrupt officials, and those who might expose his secret? 
  Archibold Stormblood, Visseria’s greatest hero, is finally taking a break. After two centuries spent battling dark lords and saving the world, he figures he’s earned a little peace—or so he hopes. Leaving his legendary past behind, Archibold now lives as an unassuming mortal nineteen-year-old, running the Tipsy Pelican Tavern, where he brews tasty spell-chilled ales and enjoys stories and laughs with his quirky patrons. 
  Trouble is the last thing he needs in his life—especially any trouble in the form of the White Church, corrupt officials, crime syndicates, or whatever his iron-willed barmaids manage to stir up. 
  With his immortal powers sealed and his true identity a closely guarded secret, can Archibold hold onto his hard-won peace, or will he be forced to don the mantle of hero once more? 
  Join the thousands of readers who are raving about the Tipsy Pelican Tavern series, an unputdownable fantasy adventure spiced with unique magic, tense action, laugh-out-loud humor, and a foaming mug of wit and heart. 
  "A happy medium between cozy and epic—a truly satisfying read."

  Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress." 
   
  Chekhov renounced the theatre after the reception of The Seagull in 1896, but the play was revived to acclaim in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and premiered his last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text". The plays that Chekhov wrote were not complex, but easy to follow, and created a somewhat haunting atmosphere for the audience. 
   
  Chekhov at first wrote stories to earn money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations that influenced the evolution of the modern short story. He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them. 
   
  Here is perhaps his finest collection. A true audiobook treasure!

  Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.
