Dive into one of Rudyard Kipling’s most delightful and imaginative Just So Stories—the whimsical tale of how the great Whale came to have such a very small throat. In this clever and gently mischievous origin story, Kipling introduces listeners to a greedy Whale, a resourceful mariner armed with nothing but a raft, a cooking-stove, and a truly clever plan, and the beginning of a rule that all whales have followed ever since. Narrated with warmth and charm by Richard Stibbard, this classic fable blends humor, myth, and storytelling magic. Perfect for families, young listeners, lovers of folklore, and anyone who appreciates the timeless voice of Kipling. A charming tale of wit, wonder, and the playful logic of make-believe.Mostra libro
Nora Wilder and Milo Keene have one thing in common: they’re both determined to survive each other. Nora lives for hiking trails, daring takeoffs, and the thrill of what comes next. As an adventure guide at Lakeview Harbor Resort, she finally feels like she’s found her place—until a series of run-ins with one of the resort’s owners threatens the future she’s building there. Milo prefers schedules and spreadsheets to mountain trails and adrenaline. Investing in the resort where he met his closest friends made perfect sense. Surviving Nora Wilder? Not so much. After she destroys his drone, terrifies him on a jet ski, and takes him on the most nerve-wracking flight of his life, Milo should be furious. Instead . . . he’s intrigued. When Nora unexpectedly comes to his rescue—and Milo accidentally admits he might have feelings for her—the tension between them shifts from hostile to something far more dangerous. What starts as a resort crush might just turn into the adventure neither of them saw coming.Mostra libro

An army of gamekeepers, beaters, and servants has rehearsed the intricate age–old ritual, the gentlemen are falling into the prescribed mode of fellowship and sporting rivalry, the ladies intrigued by the latest gossip and fashion. Everything about this splendid weekend would seem a perfect consummation of the pleasures afforded the privileged in Edwardian England.And yet it is not: the moral and social code of this group is not so secure as it appears. Competition beyond the bounds of sportsmanship, revulsion at the slaughter of the animals, anger at the inequities of class—these forces are about to rise up and engulf the assured social peace, a peace that can last only a brief while longer. In imagining Sir Randolph's shooting party, wrote The Spectator, Miss Colegate has found a perfect metaphor for the passing of a way of life.Mostra libro
