Sinossi

William Henry Giles Kingston's 'The Frontier Fort. Or, Stirring Times in the North West Territory of British America' serves as an adventurous yet historically-rich narrative that immerses readers into the tumultuous era of European expansion across the North American frontier. Kingston employs a vivid literary style characterized by his keen attention to detail, incorporating elements of storytelling and authentic dialogue that transport the reader to an era marked by exploration, conflict, and the challenges faced by settlers. The book, reflective of the Victorian fascination with Empire, illustrates not only the physical hardships of frontier life but also the broader implications of colonial endeavors on indigenous populations and the land itself. Kingston, a prolific author of adventure tales, was deeply influenced by his own travels and maritime background, which lent him an intimate understanding of life on the frontier. Having witnessed various aspects of colonial life, his narratives often combine thrilling adventure with thoughtful commentary on societal values and the ethics of the colonial project. His experiences serve as a backdrop to 'The Frontier Fort,' where he deftly weaves historical fact with imaginative storytelling. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the dynamics of colonial America and the complexities of frontier life. Kingston's compelling prose and exciting plot will engage both history enthusiasts and adventure lovers alike, making 'The Frontier Fort' a significant addition to any literary exploration of the period.

    The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 3 of 7  Elizabeth Device 
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
    Elizabeth Device, a struggling widow in 1600s Lancashire, fought to protect her family after her daughter Alizon was accused of cursing a peddler. As whispers of witchcraft grew, Elizabeth's world collapsed—her mother, Old Demdike, died in prison, and her son James spoke recklessly of spirits. A family gathering at Malkin Tower was twisted into tales of a witches' sabbath by fearful neighbors. The final blow came when Elizabeth's nine-year-old daughter Jennet, likely coerced, testified against her in court, describing imaginary familiars and curses. Despite a spectral dog's offer of freedom in exchange for Jennet's life, Elizabeth refused to betray her child, even as the noose tightened around her neck. On August 20, 1612, she was hanged at Lancaster Castle, her dying words a curse not on Jennet, but on the injustice that turned daughter against mother. Her story endures as a haunting reminder of the Pendle witch trials' cruellest betrayal.  
    This is the third book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you "enjoy" ,might not be the appropriate word, this third instalment, and it's only $3 dollars. 
    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 plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
    The story itself runs to about 14 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice. 
    I do hope you and enjoy this audiobook , there are a lot more to come!
