Resumen del editor:

Dicen que las apariencias siempre engañan, nuestra historia parece más que confirmarlo....

Julius Slinkton tiene mucho interés en que le presenten al Sr. Sampson, director de una Compañía de Seguros de vida.Van a coincidir en un par de ocasiones, y no se volverán a ver hasta que casualmente se encuentren en una playa solitaria de Scarborough, por la que Slinkton pasea del brazo de una bellísima joven.... Una oscura trama que empieza a desarrollarse, nos va a permitir descubrir hasta que punto puede la maldad y la perversidad aparecer disfrazadas bajo el aspecto de la candidez e inocencia.Esta novela corta es una magnífica muestra de una faceta muy desconocida de Dickens, la de autor de historias detectivescas. No os la perdáis, seguro que os gusta.

Title: Biffin on the Bassoon

Author: Harry Graham

Narrator: Cathy Dobson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-28-11

Publisher: Red Door Audiobooks

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Harry Garham made a great name for himself as a writer of light verse and humorous stories, including the inimitable Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes. His classic story, 'Biffin on the Bassoon', recounts a tale of decidedly amateur musician who inadvertently finds himself playing the bassoon solo at the inaugural performance by the London Philmelodic of Heinzmacher's Die Schöpfung, with comic results. Written very much in the vein of P. G.Wodehouse, Harry Graham's work should be compulsory reading for all lapsed instrument players.

"An amusing chronicle of the tribulations of the Ghost of Canterville Chase when his ancesteral halls become the home of the American Minister to the Court of St James." This short story by Oscar Wilde has been the basis for a movie and a play, and has been required reading for many years.

Members Reviews:

Good story, poor narration

The narration of this otherwise great story is disappointingly amateurish. Wilde's wonderful tale is mired in the poor reading. Surprising to find this low quality recording on Audible.

Simply a delight.

A gem. Presuably a BBC production and as close to perfect as can be.

Title: Animal Farm

Author: George Orwell

Narrator: Simon Callow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 09-21-10

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The animals in the farmyard decide that working for humans is doing them no favours so, under the leadership of Napoleon, the only Berkshire Boar on the farm, and the other pigs, they drive out the farmer and his cohorts and set about structuring their own society. Based on a list of supposedly animal-friendly rules such as four legs good, two legs bad the animals work together to harvest their own food and run their own farm. However, little by little, the rules begin to mysteriously change and the pigs seem to gain power, making the animals question whether their new-found freedom is as liberating as they might have hoped.

With direct allusions to political figures such as Lenin, Marx, Trotsky, Stalin, and Molotov, to name but a few, Animal Farm is one of the greatest socio-political works of all time, and this unabridged audio does it absolute justice.

Critic Reviews:

"Simon Callows remarkable narration brings out the many layers of Orwell's fable...Brilliant!" (

The Observer)

Members Reviews:

Short, profound, terrifying

Who was your favorite character and why?

Boxer - loyal, strong, sad.

What about Simon Callows performance did you like?

His vocal acting and character voicing was terrific. A formal, but deep and gritty, English accent. Wonderful.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The historical and prescient quality of this narrative are frightening.
