Title: Northanger Abbey Author: Val McDermid Narrator: Jane Collingwood Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-14 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: A modern re-imagining of the Gothic Classic Northanger Abbey by the bestselling crime author Val McDermid. The second book in The Austen Project. Seventeen-year-old Catherine Cat' Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. So when Cat's wealthy neighbours, the Allens, invite her to Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons. Edinburgh initially offers no such thrills: Susie Allen is obsessed by shopping, Andrew Allen by the Fringe. A Highland Dance class, though, brings Cat a new acquaintance: Henry Tilney, a pale, dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. And an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a like-minded friend. But with Bella comes her brother John, an obnoxious banker whose vulgar behaviour seems designed to thwart Cat's growing fondness for Henry. Happily, rescue is at hand. The rigidly formal General Tilney invites her to stay at Northanger with son Henry and daughter Eleanor. Cat's imagination runs riot: An ancient abbey, crumbling turrets, secret chambers, ghostsand Henry! What could be more deliciously romantic? But Cat gets far more than she bargained for in this isolated corner of the Scottish Borders. The real world outside the pages of a novel proves to be altogether more disturbing than the imagined world within Critic Reviews: "Compelling and shocking" (Minette Walters)"Terrifying but stylish, cruel and compassionate. Truly, horribly good" (Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday)"Gripping, intelligent stuff" (The Times)

Frazer Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-14 Publisher: Freshwater Seas Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: Just as Proust derives an entire world of feeling, people and events from the taste of a madeleine, James G. Frazer brings us into a worldwide survey of religion, folklore, culture, symbolism, and ritual using the Priest of Nemi as his starting point. Starting from the image of the lonely, doomed high priest, prowling his precinct night and day, sword in hand, hardly daring to sleep as he awaited the assault of the man who would kill him and take his place, Frazer roams the world of ancient and modern religious and ceremonial practice in search of the underlying universals of human thought. The Golden Bough quickly took its place in the fields of mythology, anthropology and comparative religion as a classic. Though clearly open to criticism from a modern perspective, it opened pathways of thought and interpretation that enabled later thinkers to explore perspectives that would not have been available otherwise. In many forms and guises, Frazer's ideas have flourished from his day to the present.

Title: The Disintegration Machine Subtitle: Professor Challenger Series Author: Arthur Conan Doyle Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-13 Publisher: Spokenworld Audio/Ladbroke Audio Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: The Disintegration Machine is a very short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle. It was first published in Strand Magazine in January 1929. The story centers around the discovery of a machine capable of disintegrating objects and reforming them as they were. This short story is a part of the "Challenger series", a collection of stories about the wealthy eccentric adventurer Professor Challenger. Edward Malone, the narrator of The Lost World, the novel in which Challenger first appeared, described his first meeting with the character: His appearance made me gasp. I was prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a personality as this. It was his size, which took one's breath away his size and his imposing presence. His head was enormous, the largest I have ever seen upon a human being. I am sure that his top hat, had I ventured to don it, would have slipped over me entirely and rested on my shoulders. He had the face and beard, which I associate with an Assyrian bull; the former florid, the latter so black as almost to have a suspicion of blue, spade-shaped and rippling down over his chest. The hair was peculiar, plastered down in front in a long, curving wisp over his massive forehead. The eyes were blue-grey under great black tufts, very clear, very critical, and very masterful. A huge spread of shoulders and a chest like a barrel were the other parts of him which appeared above the table, save for two enormous hands covered with long black hair. This and a bellowing, roaring, rumbling voice made up my first impression of the notorious Professor Challenger. He was also a pretentious and self-righteous scientific jack-of-all-trades. Although considered by Malone's editor, Mr McArdle, to be "just a homicidal megalomaniac with a turn for science", his ingenuity could be counted upon to solve any problem or get out of any unsavoury situation, and be sure to offend and insult several other people in the process. Challenger was, in many ways, rude, crude, and without social conscience or inhibition. Yet he was a man capable of great loyalty and his love of his wife was all encompassing. Like Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger was based on a real person in this case, a professor of physiology named William Rutherford, who had lectured at the University of Edinburgh while Conan Doyle studied medicine there. Critic Reviews: "A very enjoyable tale and an easy listen that has reignited my interest in Conan Doyle's work." (The Cult Den)

Title: The Making of a Marchioness and The Methods of Lady Walderhurst Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett Narrator: Bobbie Frohman, Full Supporting Cast Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-13 Publisher: Alcazar AudioWorks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Classics, British Literature Publisher's Summary: In early 1901, 15 years after Little Lord Fauntleroy and 10 years before The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Making of a Marchioness. She followed this short novel in the spring of the same year with the sequel, The Methods of Lady Walderhurst. The satisfying Cinderella quality of the first book which illustrated the harsh realism of Edwardian society, combines with the exciting melodramatic developments in the second book to create an intriguing story that continues to entertain us today. Author Frances Hodgson Burnett (18491924) was an English-born author of romances and books for children. After moving to America in 1865 she established a popular reputation with the publication of That Lass o'Lowries in 1877.
