Author: Daniel Defoe

Narrator: Denny Sayers

Length: 12 hrs 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

The History of the Plague in London (1722) is a fictionalized account of the bubonic plague epidemic that struck London in 1665 which Defoe witnessed as a five-year old, the year before the Great Fire of London. This work is among the first English novels. Like Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders and several other of his novels, Defoe published this work as though it were based on primary sources and was not, so he pretended, a novel at all. This was Defoes way of developing an audience among the reading public for fiction writing.

Title: Between the Lines

Author: Boyd Cable

Narrator: Delmar H. Dolbier

Length: 5 hrs 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

This book, all of which has been written at the Front within sound of the German guns and for the most part within shell and rifle range, is an attempt to tell something of the manner of struggle that has gone on for months between the lines along the Western Front, and more especially of what lies behind and goes to the making of those curt and vague terms in the war communiqués. I think that our people at Home will be glad to know more, and ought to know more, of what these bald phrases may actually signify, when, in the other sense, we read 'between the lines.'

Title: Conjuror's House, a Romance of the Free Forest

Author: Stewart Edward White

Narrator: Roger Melin

Length: 4 hrs 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2011

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

In the northern outreaches of the Canadian wilderness, it was understood that the Hudson Bay Company governed all trading, and one factor named Galen Albret took his position seriously. Free traders, or those who dared try to do their trading outside of the Company, found themselves having to face Galen Albret and his methods of dealing with them. One or two offenses he might tolerate, but for those who repeatedly refuse to acknowledge his warning out, he would send them on La Longue Traverse through the wilderness without supplies, and from which they seldom returned.

Ned Trent was one such free trader who defied both the Company and Galen Albret. The defining difference between Ned and the other free traders however, was his youth, energy, and good looks, which the Factors daughter did not fail to recognize. What follows the initial confrontations between Ned, Galen Albret, and his daughter Virginia makes for a thrilling tale of adventure, daring, survival, and romance.

Conjurors House was twice made into silent films titled The Call of the North, the first being Cecil B. DeMilles first film in which he received solo directorial credit, and the second starring Noah Beery and Jack Holt (whose face was the basis for the face of Dick Tracy). (Summary by Roger Melin)
