  The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.
  
  Some Damn Fool's Signed the Rubens Again is Thelwell's look at life in Britain's stately homes, and what happens when they are opened to the public. Here are the castles, country estates, and the quirks of the British class system all depicted in the artist's inimitable style.
  
  When an ancestral home is crumbling, or an aristocratic family is debt-ridden, the solution calls for drastic action. It is time to welcome in the paying public. Thelwell's cartoons capture the comic situations that result when the noble residents come face to face with the curious visitors. See the duke in his tower preparing to repel the coachloads with boiling oil; a ghost train in the family vault; toddlers wrecking treasured heirlooms; and animals in the safari park watching the hilarious human spectacle unfold.

  ""Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream" is a novel by John Kendrick Bangs, first published in 1907 by Doubleday, Page & Co. of New York. Illustrated by Albert Levering, this work serves as a political parody of Lewis Carroll's famous Alice books: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass" (1871).    In this whimsical tale, Alice finds herself in "Blunderland", also humorously referred to as "Municipal Ownership Country". Here, she encounters familiar characters from Wonderland, including the dormouse, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat. However, instead of whimsical adventures, Alice grapples with issues critical of collectivism, taxation, corporate greed, and corruption.    The novel playfully transports readers to a satirical realm where absurdity meets political commentary. "

  19 Years Old – And So Damn cheeky is an explicit, provocative, and deeply sensual audiobook about temptation, lust, and the dangerous thrill of forbidden desire. Told from the perspective of a married man in his late thirties, the story follows how his dull, routine marriage is shaken when a young, self-confident au pair enters his home. 
  What begins as innocent glances and playful smiles quickly spirals into a secret world of fantasies, hidden encounters, and overwhelming lust. The au pair embodies everything he feels he has lost—youth, passion, freedom—and she knows exactly how to play the game. 
  This is not a story about innocence. It is about the hunger for what is forbidden, the lust that blurs boundaries, and the choices that can destroy a family. With explicit language and vivid erotic scenes, 19 Years Old invites adult listeners into a world of seduction, secrecy, and raw desire. 
  A daring and unapologetic work of German erotica, written and narrated by Kris Sinnlich, this audiobook is intended for mature audiences only (18+).
