    John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873.  His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. 
    After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. 
    As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.   
    His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. 
    As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. 
    All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. 
    John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.

    Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born on 9th February 1863 in Clapton, London.  
    He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford.  Hope trained as a lawyer and barrister and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. Despite what was thought to be a promising legal career he had literary ambitions and wrote in his spare time. 
    His early works appeared in various periodicals of the day but for his first book ‘A Man of Mark’ (1890), with no publisher interested, he published with his own resources.  
    More novels and short stories followed, including the mildly successful ‘Mr Witt's Widow’ in 1892. Hope even found time to run as the Liberal candidate for Wycombe in the election that same year but was unsuccessful. 
    His first major literary success came with ‘The Dolly Dialogues’, a collection of previously published magazine pieces followed very quickly by his instant classic, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. He now gave up the vestiges of his legal career to pursue writing full-time. 
    Despite never again reaching the same pinnacle of success he was popular and wrote prolifically across novels, plays and of course, short stories though his writing output rapidly diminished after the war. 
    In 1918 he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I.  
    His short stories are delicate, mannered and often surprising with their wit, humour and interplay of characters who say one thing and usually mean another.  He was very definitely a writer of escapist rather than serious fare but they are no less enjoyable for that. 
    Anthony Hope died of throat cancer on 8th July 1933 at his country home, Heath Farm at Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. He was 70.

    A child waits for the tooth fairy; a mother spends a night watching a recording of the previous night; two women face the ghosts that haunted their grandmothers. The nights in these ten stories are thick and substantial, ambiguous and alluring.
    
    Eerie, magical, hushed and surprisingly alive, this anthology shows the night as a place where connections are made and daylit lives can be changed.

    Of Withered Apples by Philip K. Dick is a hauntingly symbolic short story that blends dreamlike imagery with unsettling undercurrents of fate and desire. In this surreal tale, Dick draws readers into a world where ordinary objects—such as withered apples hanging on a tree—take on an ominous significance, suggesting temptation, decay, and the fragility of human will. Known for his explorations of altered reality and psychological tension, Dick uses this story to probe the boundaries between the real and the illusory, leaving readers questioning what lies beneath the surface of everyday life. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction, existential allegories, and classic mid-20th century science fiction.

    In a world where the news feels heavy, where everything moves too fast, and where smiles are increasingly rare, it's more essential than ever to laugh, to breathe, and to rediscover a bit of lightness. 
    Ten Funny Stories is an auditory journey through ten stops filled with misunderstandings, quirky characters, absurd situations, but also love, tenderness, truth, and nods to our everyday contradictions. This set of tales invites you to laugh, reflect, and shake your head in disbelief at the strange ways life unfolds. 
    Let yourself be surprised by a mischievous fortune teller, an elusive seducer juggling twelve women without raising the slightest suspicion, a presidential election where underhanded tactics outnumber ballots, a woman sincerely seeking love who scrolls through dating profiles with more hope than success, or a trio of false prophets determined to found a church with intentions... not very divine. 
    Each story has what it takes to make you smile during your workout, burst out laughing in the kitchen, or forget your worries during a break. Whether you're alone or surrounded by loved ones, this audiobook is a gentle companion, ready to brighten your moments and sow smiles along your daily path.  
    These stories were born from a desire to laugh at life’s chaos, and to find truth in the ridiculous. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed writing them. 
    In a world that sometimes forgets to smile, it's a light breath that revives hearts and awakens dormant laughter. Because right now, laughter isn't a luxury, it’s a necessity: dive into the unique universe of Ten Funny Stories.
