  Jane Eyre is considered to be Charlotte Brontë's gothic masterpiece. It depicts the life of young orphan Jane, whose experiences of familial neglect produce an unmatched independence and bullet-proof inner resolve.  
  Things start off terribly. She is banished to Lowood School at the tender age of ten, and faces deprivation, disease and death. But against all odds she survives, and goes on to become a highly respected teacher. Things get easier then. But when her mentor leaves to get married, she realises it is time to forge a life of her own.  
  After much deliberation, she applies for the position of governess to the young ward of a broody and difficult Edward Rochester, and it's not long before he captures her heart and mind. But unbeknownst to her, Rochester is hiding a terrible secret - one which forces her to make a heartbreaking choice: remain with him at Thornfield and compromise the inner virtue she's built brick by brick, or leave and lose everything her heart aches for.  
  In this audiobook, all thirty eight heart-rending chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins.  
  Her passionate performance expertly captures Brontë's sensitive subject matter. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
  This is the sixth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection.  
  Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
  Soundtrack written and produced by Jean-Miles Carter.

Jerome Charyn's Callas springs to life as the headstrong, mercurial, and charismatic artist who captivated generations of fans, thrilling audiences with her brilliant performances and defiant personality.

  London. 1923. Much to her consternation, Kitty Worthington's debut season is a resounding success, prompting marriage proposals from lords, rogues, scoundrels, and ne'er do wells. Even as she dodges them, a new intrigue arises, and at Westminster, no less. A high-ranking member of the nobility is murdered, and her sister's beau has been framed to take the fall. 
   
   
   
  With her sister's happiness at stake, Kitty sets out to investigate, ably aided by her faithful maid, two noble lords, a titled lady, and Sir Winston, her still flatulent Basset Hound. As they dash about London, from the stews of St. Giles, to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair, in search of the wily killer, can she convince the maddening Inspector Crawford to aid their quest? For if she fails to find the killer, her sister's beloved may very well hang from the wrong end of a rope.
