  Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

  ‘Smile’ is one of Lawrence's shorter pieces, a thumbnail sketch of an idea. A man is relieved that his wife is dead and struggles to hide his relief when confronted with his wife's body. The relief breaks out in a smile which he struggles to excuse. How much better it would have been, Lawrence seems to be saying, if he had just laughed out loud!

  Step into the world of The Chimes, Charles Dickens’ moving holiday tale that explores themes of hope, redemption, and the human spirit. In this lesser-known but equally touching story, Dickens introduces us to Toby "Trotty" Veck, a poor and humble messenger who has lost faith in himself and society. On New Year's Eve, Trotty is visited by spirits through the chimes of the church bells, who reveal to him visions of despair, resilience, and the possibility for change. 
  Through Trotty’s journey, Dickens crafts a powerful message about overcoming cynicism and finding hope, even in difficult times. With rich, descriptive language and heartfelt storytelling, The Chimes resonates with the same warmth and compassion as A Christmas Carol and is perfect for anyone who loves Victorian literature or holiday tales with a meaningful twist. 
  Expertly narrated to bring Dickens’ vivid characters and atmospheric London setting to life, this audiobook is a memorable addition to any holiday season. 
  Start listening to The Chimes today and rediscover the enduring values of love, hope, and renewal as we welcome a new year!

  Charles Dickens was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
  OUR BORE: It is unnecessary to say that we keep a bore. Everybody does. But, the bore whom we have the pleasure and honour of enumerating among our particular friends, is such a generic bore, and has so many traits (as it appears to us) in common with the great bore family, that we are tempted to make him the subject of the present notes. May he be generally accepted!
