Title: Northanger Abbey

Author: Jane Austen

Narrator: Anna Massey

Format: Abridged

Length: 02:23:21

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: The Copyright Group Ltd.

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Jane Austen wrote about situations with which she was familiar and the social life of Bath was no exception. Northanger Abbey concentrates on the interaction between three families which are all very different. The Morlands are respectable but have little education, while the Tilneys are wealthier and more sophisticated. The Thorpes, however, are vulgar social climbers of whom both the Morland and the Tilneys fall foul. The clarity with which the families' differing values are depicted adds to the realism of the novel.

1. AN UNROMANTIC HEROINE. Catherine Morland's early life does not equip her to be a romantic heroine. When the Allens, the Morlands' well-to-do neighbours, invite Catherine to accompany them to Bath, she is delighted. However, her first ball is a disappointment because the Allens cannot provide her with a partner. At the next ball, the master of ceremonies introduces her to a young clergyman, Henry Tilney. She hopes to see him again next day but instead, Mrs. Allen meets Mrs. Thorpe, an old school friend, and Catherine becomes acquainted with her daughter Isabella.

2. INTIMATE FRIENDS. Isabella and Catherine both enjoy sensational gothic novels, but the latter does not share the former's interest in men. As the girls pursue two young gentlemen who have caught Isabella's eye, they come across their brothers, John Thorpe and James Morland, who are at Oxford together. John asks Catherine to be his partner at the ball that evening. She regrets this when Henry Tilney later asks her to the dance, but welcomes the acquaintance of Henrys sister, Eleanor. Isabella, meanwhile, ignores Catherine and only has eyes only for James.

3. HORIZONS BROADENED. The next evening's entertainment goes better for Catherine. Henry asks her to the dance, but John boorishly interrupts, making claims on her, which she denies. Henry likens dancing to matrimony, but Catherine disagrees with him. His father, General Tilney, sees them together and makes enquiries about Catherine. Eleanor and Harry invite Catherine to accompany them on a country walk, where they discuss the extremely popular gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho. Henry teases Catherine about her unimaginative use of language, which reveals her lack of education. Eleanor declares that Henry treats her in exactly the same way.

4. GREAT NEWS. Isabella announces her engagement to James. Catherine is astonished but overjoyed, and is taken in by in Isabella's repeated declarations that money means nothing to her. John makes a clumsy, half-hearted proposal to Catherine, but she rebuffs him. General Tilney and Eleanor invite Catherine to visit them at their home, Northanger Abbey. She eagerly accepts, hoping to see more of Henry, and fantasises about their gothic mansion. At the pump-room, Catherine is distressed when Isabella blatantly flirts with Frederick Tilney, Henry's brother.

5. A FICKLE GIRL. Catherine asks Henry to speak to Frederick. He refuses to interfere, however, saying that if she believes Isabella's attachment to James is genuine, there is no need to worry. Henry drives Catherine to Northanger Abbey and teases her about the terrors she may encounter there. On arrival, she is disappointed to find that the house is modernised and comfortable.

6. DOES EVIL ABOUND? On Catherine's first night at the Abbey there is a storm and her imagination runs wild. She searches the locked cabinet in her room but all she finds is an inventory of linen.

Title: Vanity Fair

Author: William Thackeray

Narrator: Edward Petherbridge

Format: Abridged

Length: 02:22:09

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: The Copyright Group Ltd.

Genres: Historical Romance

Summary:

Thackeray's novel is a bitingly satirical depiction of the corruptions of Regency society. But it is also a splendidly readable tale, written in the manner of 18th Century novels. Few of the characters are noted for their virtue, but the zest and enthusiasm with which the narrative bounds along makes the reader overlook, if not forgive, the sins of its rogues and scoundrels. The novel's protagonist, Becky Sharp, goes her own wily way but wins the reader's admiration nonetheless for her resourcefulness and, above all, sheer daring.

1. INTO THE WORLD. Amelia Sedley and Rebecca Sharpe leaves Miss Pinkerton's academy with very different farewells: for wealthy Amelia, wine and a dictionary; for penniless Becky, nothing. At the Sedleys' house in Russell Square, Becky plans to marry Jos, Amelia's brother. The three of them, together with George Osborne (Amelia's beau) and his friend, Dobbin spend an evening at Vauxhall Gardens, Drunk, Jos speak of love to Becky, who expects him to propose. The next day he flees London and Becky has to make her own way in the world.

2. A GOVERNESS'S CAREER. Becky is to be governess to the children of Sir Pitt Crawley and is amazed by the vulgarity of her employer and the squalor of his home. But she soon makes herself indispensable to the family. The younger son, Captain Rawdon Crawly, falls in love with her but she appears to scorn him. When Miss Crawley, a rich maiden aunt, visits, Becky wins her over too. Meanwhile, Amelia is deeply in love with the feckless, if dashing, George.

3. SECRET MARRIAGES. Becky becomes Miss Crawley's companion. This upsets Sir Pitt, who wants her back - as his wife, if she wishes. But Becky has secretly married Rawdon and they flee to Brighton. Meanwhile, Amelia's father loses his fortune and George forgets her until the kindly Dobbin tells him she is heartbroken. Amelia and George marry but when George's father hears of the match, he disinherits him. George and Amelia also go to Brighton, where they meet Becky and Rawdon. There the four receive news of war. Later, George is killed at the Battle of Waterloo.

4. AFTER WATERLOO. Becky and Rawdon settle in Paris, where their son is born. Soon Becky's charm and beauty attract a circle of friends; but she and Rawdon run up debts and are forced to leave for London. Becky pretends that Miss Crawley has left money to Rawdon. In fact, his brother Pitt, married to Lady Jane, is Miss Crawley's heir. Amelia also bears a son and, as George's father refuses to help her, she goes to live with her parents on a widow's meagre pension. Dobbin, who has loved her all along, leaves for India.

5. IN SOCIETY. Becky makes her home in Curzon Street one of the most fashionable house - at least for men; society ladies refuse to meet her. She befriends important people, like the lecherous Lord Steyne, while neglecting her son, Rawdon. After the death of Sir Pitt, she also repairs relations with her brother in law, Pitt Crawley, who gives her diamonds. These she wears when he presents her at court. Meanwhile, Amelia's hardships are worsened by her father's repeated financial failures.

6. DEBT AND DISASTER. Lord Steyne sends young Rawdon to school and persuades Becky to dismiss her companion, leaving the house almost empty. When Rawdon is arrested for debt, Becky defers helping him and writes to his brother instead.

Title: Edith Wharton: The Short Stories

Author: Edith Wharton

Narrator: Janet Maw

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:22:54

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: The Copyright Group Ltd.

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories

Summary:

Edith Wharton. Perhaps best known for her classic novel The Age of Innocence Wharton loved the short story form because its brevity allowed her to concentrate on telling the story. In these three powerful stories, Edith Wharton transports the listener to the turn of the century where she depicts (without turning to sensationalism) the shocking topics of the time. Often, she opens just after an incident allowing the listener to be immersed straight into the story. In Souls Belated we meet a couple on a train, digesting and reacting to that morning's event. In The Muse's Tragedy, a young man meets his favourite poet's muse and soon uncovers the truth about their much talked about relationship. Atypically Roman Fever starts with a seemingly normal day in Rome and soon reveals a lot more than expected when two middle aged women start recalling a past trip to the Italian capital. These stories are read by the accomplished actress Janet Maw
