Sinopsis

St. George Rathborne's "Old Broadbrim Into the Heart of Australia or, A Strange Bargain and Its Consequences" is a riveting adventure novel that blends crime fiction with elements of regional exploration. Set against the vast and varied landscapes of Australia, the narrative follows the eponymous character, Old Broadbrim, as he navigates both moral complexities and physical challenges in pursuit of justice. Rathborne's prose is marked by vivid descriptions and an engaging, serialized style reminiscent of 19th-century pulp fiction, capturing both the essence of Australian life and the broader themes of exploration, colonialism, and human nature that permeate the literary context of its time, pushing the reader to reflect on the broader implications of adventure and ethical choices. St. George Rathborne was a prolific writer whose diverse body of work often delved into themes of crime, morality, and the human condition. His interests in societal dynamics and the allure of adventure may have been shaped by his own experiences during a period of significant cultural change in America. Rathborne's narratives frequently feature complex characters facing ethical dilemmas, which resonate with his understanding of America's evolving identity in the late 19th century. This novel is highly recommended for readers intrigued by classic adventure tales infused with moral questions and rich cultural settings. Rathborne's skillful storytelling delivers profound insights and emotional depth, making it an essential read for those interested in the intersections of crime, culture, and the spirit of adventure.

Young Sherlock Holmes & John...

Christopher Allen

YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON
The case of the missing baby.
This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same.
This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment.
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute.
The story itself runs to about 7 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice.
The story involves the the disappearance of a baby, Albert just 2 months old, from his pram that Nanny Beatrice was responsible for. Albert was the son of the British Ambassador, Sir Eustace Carmichael, who lived in a magnificent Townhouse in Westminster. The baby was found hidden in a wardrobe upstairs to try and distract Sir Eustace.
Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, discovers baby Albert and is praised by Sir Eustace as being incredibly astute for his age.
The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of age around 6 to 10 years old due to the characters involved.
I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
