Title: Moonstone

Author: Wilkie Collins

Narrator: Steven Pacey

Format: Abridged

Length: 02:28:07

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-17

Publisher: The Copyright Group Ltd.

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Summary:

Hailed as a masterpiece on publication, The Moonstone still thrills as a supreme detective story. But it is also a novel of mounting suspense, as the action follows the Moonstone's trail. The gem is tracked from the bloody looting of Seringapatam to the peaceful heart of England and on to the grim slums of London's East End. By skilfully using separate narrators with their differing viewpoints, Wilkie Collins deepens the mystery. Even the great Sergeant Cuff makes a false deduction. The fate of the Moonstone remains uncertain until the final revelation.

1. A CURSED JEWEL. Stolen by the Emperor Aurungzebe from its shrine at Somnauth, the Moonstone is followed by three Hindi priests and carries a curse. At the siege of Seringapatam John Herncastle, a British solider, seizes it and later bequeaths it to his niece Rachel Verinder. Franklin Blake, Rachel's cousin, is charged with delivering it on her 18th birthday. Three Indians precede him, alarming the house steward Betteredge. Franklin decides to put the jewel in a bank and not tell Rachel about her legacy just yet.

2. A FATEFUL BIRTHDAY. Franklin and Rachel fall in love, leading Rachel to reject an earlier suitor, Godfery Ablewhite. At a dinner party held to celebrate her birthday, the Moonstone is presented to her. During dinner Franklin quarrels about medicine with Mr Candy, a doctor; then a drumming is heard outside. The Indians have returned and see that Rachel has the jewel. They are warned off and Betteredge carefully locks the house and lets the dogs loose. Rachel, unaware of the danger, insists on keeping the jewel in her room.

3. THE MOONSTONE VANISHES. The next day, the diamond has disappeared, although the house remains locked. Rachel will say nothing about it and Franklin sets off to have the Indians arrested. However, they turn out to be innocent and the local police arrive, led by Sergeant Seegrave. They prove useless and it is decided to call in a well-known detective, Sergeant Cuff. When he arrives, Cuff is unlike any policeman Betteredge has ever known. Rachel emerges from her room only to berate Franklin, leading Cuff to conclude that she has taken the jewel.

4. A DETECTIVE'S MISTAKE. Betteredge cannot accept Cuff's deduction, but the Sergeant is confirmed in his suspicions when Rachel insists on leaving the house and also spurns Franklin again. Cuff explains his theory to Lady Verinder, who refuses to accept it. She does, however, agree to confront her daughter with his accusation. After doing so, she repeats her conviction that Rachel is innocent and dismisses Cuff. Before leaving, Cuff tells Betteredge the name of the only moneylender who can handle the stolen gem: Septimus Luker.

5. THE UNBELEIVABLE TRUTH. Returning to England on the death of his father Franklin Blake attempts to see Rachel but is rebuffed. Baffled, he visits the lawyer Bruff, who agrees to let him see her alone in Bruff's own house. When Franklin confronts Rachel, she tells him that she saw him take the Moonstone. Astonished, Franklin can offer no explanation for an action he cannot remember. Rachel explains how she saw him remove the stone. Franklin is even more perplexed; they part in anger and distress.

6. A DISASTROUS JOKE. Returning to Frizinghall, Franklin calls on Mr Candy and finds the doctor has been severely ill and cannot speak lucidly; he had collapsed after Rachel's party.

Summary:

The Poetry Of Thomas Hardy - An Introduction. Many giants of Literature originate from the shores of these emerald isles; Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Brontes and Austen to which most people would willingly add the name Thomas Hardy. Far From The Madding Crowd, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles, The Mayor Of Casterbridge are but three of his literary masterpieces. But let us go further and add to his canon his Poems. Hardy himself thought he was a poet who wrote novels purely for the money. Indeed his poems were not published until he was in his fifties after his major novels were published and his reputation set. Today his poetry is more rightly regarded in its own right. These poems are ready for you by James Taylor, Gideon Wagner, Richard Mitchley, Tim Graham and Ghizela Rowe.

Summary:

Dan Starkey reads an intriguing original story featuring the Twelfth Doctor, as played on TV by Peter Capaldi.

People laughed at John Dee for years, dismissing the astrologer as a madman or a fraud. Then one day a face appeared in his mirror, a face that was not his own. He was given secrets from beyond time: how to mix potions; how to tame the elements; even how to trap a demon. But Dees magic was lost, his library ransacked, his spells and hexes stolen. A dread prophecy was made: the Earth will burn

When the TARDIS lands on a Spanish galleon, caught in an unnatural storm, the Doctor, Alex and Brandon are shipwrecked and separated from each other. Between them they must discover who is waging supernatural war - before the planet is pulled apart. What connects John Dee with Sir Francis Drake and the impending attack of the Spanish Armada?
