  Lancelot Biggs: Master Navigator by Nelson S. Bond - Trust Lancelot Biggs to get his ship into a mess just when speed and good navigation meant the prize contract of the year...! 
  Everything happens to me. We finished taking on cargo at 13:10, Solar Constant Time, and I went to my turret for firing orders from the Sun City spacedrome officer. I plugged in the audio and stared into the familiar pan of Commander Allonby. 
  I said, "Freight lugger Saturn preparing to up gravs, Commander. Standing by for the O.Q." 
  His jaw dropped like a barometer in a cyclone. He gasped, "You, Sparks? And the Saturn? What in blue space are you doing in port?" 
  "Don't look now," I advised him, "but we've been here since day before yesterday. Matter of fact, you and me h'isted elbows together last night at the Cosmic Bar, remember?" 
  "Remember?" he howled. "How could I? The last I heard of you, Cap Hanson was running the Saturn through the planetoids on some sort of cockeyed transmutation experiment![1] When did you get back? How did you—?" 
  "Damn!" I groaned, "and double-damn!" I knew what had happened. It was that confounded new invention of Lancelot Biggs'. It was a uranium audio plate which, when activated in low radiations, acted as what you might call a "time-speech-trap." 
  In other words, I was talking to Allonby not as he was now, but as he had been five months ago! 
  Don't ask me how it works. I'm a stranger here myself. Anyhow, I shook my head, shifted the dials, picked up Allonby in the current time level, got a take-off order and relayed it to the bridge. Pretty soon a bell dinged, another one donged, and a slow, humming vibration tingled through the ship as our hypatomics caught hold. I steadied myself for the lift— 
  And whammo!

  The Scottish Fairy Book

  Performed by STEVEN CREE - star of Outlander and A Discovery of Witches, amongst many leading movie credits.A collection of 28 Scottish fairy tales, perfect for children (and adults) of all ages. 
  Fairy Tales. Fantastic Fictions. Myths & Legends…these are what may be called “Celtic Stories,” which were handed down for centuries by word of mouth by professional story-tellers, who went about from clachan to clachan in the “Highlands and Islands,” earning a night’s shelter by giving a night’s entertainment. 
  These stories (which are also common to the North of Ireland), are wild and fantastic, with every flavour of Scotland throughout. They tell of heroes and heroines who set out on dangerous quests, giants and monsters, fairy folk and other mythical creatures, strange other-lands and mysterious meetings. They have a peculiar Celtic fascination of their own and they are quite distinct from the more traditional (Grim style) Fairy Tales. 
  These tales, in Scotland, have also a character of their own, for there is no country where the existence of Spirits and Goblins has been so implicitly believed in, up to a comparatively recent date. 
  Traditional Scottish fairy/folk tales, as collected and edited by Elizabeth W Grierson and originally published in 1910.

  ALICE'S WONDERLAND ADVENTURE  
  Alice in Wonderland – Retold, Reimagined & Reinvented  
  The summary of this audiobook is as follows: 
  Seven-year-old Alice follows her younger brother William (nicknamed the White Rabbit for his obsession with time) into a hidden door in their garden hedge, tumbling into Wonderland—a surreal world where her family embodies fantastical roles. Her father is the Mad Hatter, her mother the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, and William the frantic White Rabbit. Guided by a Cheshire Cat and talking flowers, Alice navigates absurd challenges, including a chaotic croquet match with the Queen and a trial over a missing strawberry from a royal tart (secretly stolen by William to aid her escape). 
  Throughout her journey, Alice learns that Wonderland is a reflection of her family’s hidden quirks: her father’s creativity flourishes as the Hatter, her mother’s strictness magnifies as the Queen, and William’s punctuality defines his rabbit persona. After outwitting the Queen’s wrath with help from the Dormouse and her brother, Alice climbs back through the rabbit hole, returning to her ordinary life—but with a strawberry and a tiny blue hat as proof her adventure was real. 
  The story blends whimsy with deeper themes of identity, family dynamics, and the blurred line between reality and imagination, offering a fresh twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland tale. 
  The initial opening credit music is modern, upbeat with female vocals lasting about 3 minutes with the instrumental closing music about the same jazz funk genre. 
  The story and music itself runs to nearly 1 hour and is narrated by claire francis, my wife. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

  Small, feisty Siberian husky Togo—the overlooked sled-dog hero of the 1925 serum run to Nome—sets the record straight in Dog Diaries #4! 
   
   
   
  When a diptheria epidemic breaks out in isolated Nome, Alaska, in January 1925, the only way to get life-saving serum to the town is by using dog-sled relay teams. Twenty teams participate, and the dog who inevitably gets credit for saving the town is Balto, lead dog on the final team which delivered the serum. But few people have ever heard of twelve-year-old Togo and his musher Leonard Seppala, who carried the serum for almost double the length of any other team, and twice violated warnings to avoid perilous Norton Sound and instead ran straight over the frozen ice! Togo's tale is perfect for middle-grade readers who love a spunky underdog!
