Publisher's Summary:

In George Eliot's Middlemarch, the idea of marriage and vocation are explored through a small town's community of ordinary people. One of the main characters, Dorothea Brooke, is a kind and good-hearted woman who gives to the poor and helps to rebuild cottages of poor farmers. However, she is also stubborn and very strong-willed.

Despite objections from nearly everyone around her, Brooke still chooses to marry the much older Casaubon. Although she enjoys learning from him, she is ultimately heartbroken when he dies and an unknown stipulation in the will that states that she can't marry Will Ladislaw, Casaubon's cousin, makes Brooke feel betrayed by Casaubon's previously unknown mistrust. Reverting back to her strong-willed personality, Brooke decides to marry Ladislaw and give up the inheritance from Casaubon's will.

One of the other main characters, Tertius Lydgate, also starts the story as a kind-hearted person whose main calling is to help the town by practicing as a medical doctor to the locals. However, when he falls in love with Rosamond Vincy, his marriage to her ends up ruining his finances, and he becomes caught between caring for Rosamond and blaming her for his downfall. The novel includes the intertwined lives of several other townspeople, which includes a murder plot and social politics that make for a very interesting listen.

Publisher's Summary:

Fitzwilliam Darcy is desperate. Finally confronted with a woman who ignites all his hopes, he agonizes over the cruel trick of fate which placed her in a situation beneath his notice. The morning after the Netherfield ball, he resolves to put as much distance between himself and her as possible.

That very morning, however, Elizabeth's future is jeopardized by her father's untimely accident. With Mr. Bennet unconscious and surrounded by concerned neighbors, Mr. Collins presses his suit. Elizabeth's mother frantically demands her acceptance to secure the family's welfare. With so many witnesses to his proposal and everyone expecting her to make a practical choice, Elizabeth's reputation hangs in the balance.

Without her father to defend her refusal of Mr. Collins, there is no one to speak up for her...except the last man in the world she would ever marry.

Publisher's Summary:

In the Days of the Comet by H. G. Wells, humanity is exalted. A comet changes the world forevermore. Happiness and beauty are our atmosphere; there is peace on Earth and good will to all men.

I saw a gray-haired man, a figure of hale age, sitting at a desk and writing. He seemed to be in a room in a tower very high so that through the tall window on his left, one perceived only distances - a remote horizon of sea, a headland, and that vague haze and glitter in the sunset that many miles away marks a city.

Title: Tom Brown's Schooldays

Author: Thomas Hughes

Narrator: Hugh Bonneville

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The story of young Tom Brown's seemingly hideous years spent at rugby school and his spirited and astonishingly stalwart response to the institutionalised bullying prevalent at the 'Great' British public schools became exactly the campaigning tool its author hoped it would.

The regimes at these schools had been largely unchallenged, with the assumption being that the education and training received were the best. The revelations in Hughes' book of the beatings and the burnings uncovered a system which had been all but hidden.

Hughes had been a schoolboy at rugby school in the 1830s when the school was run by the educational reformer Dr. Thomas Arnold. Dr. Arnold's idealism transferred itself wholesale to the young Hughes, and the good doctor appears towards the end of Tom Brown's Schooldays as the young master, bearing the light of possible redemption.

Title: Wuthering Heights

Author: Emily Bronte

Narrator: Juliet Stevenson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 164 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The wild and passionate tale of Cathy and Heathcliff's impossible love for each other and its phenomenal setting on the blasted Yorkshire moors has to be one of the best-known love affairs in literature.

When it was first published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was greeted with a fair degree of outrage, not only for the open description of desire and disaster but for the almost unheard of method of telling the story using unreliable witnesses whose tales and points of view open out from each other, leaving the audience to piece together the truth of the story.

Only such novels as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had previously attempted to challenge the reader in this way, and it is only in the last century that the true genius of Emily Brontë's work has begun to be appreciated.

Prepare to be as swept up and buffeted by the extraordinary power of Brontë's storytelling as Cathy and Heathcliff are by the winds of Wuthering Heights.

Title: The Secret Garden

Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett

Narrator: Virginia McKenna

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-18-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

What the Narnia books did for wardrobes, The Secret Garden did for the walled garden. Few readers can fail to share with Mary Lennox that inexplicable thrill of anticipation at the notion of an enclosed and secret world, bursting with potential life and beauty but remaining hidden from view.

As Mary herself observes, 'Here was another locked door, added to the hundred in the strange house'. When she finds the key to the secret garden, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and enables other characters in the novel to open doors and windows into their own lives, bringing vitality and vigour back to the inhabitants of Misselthwaite Manor.

The author's interest in theosophy is perhaps reflected in the journey of the crippled Colin, who believes he can heal himself through positive thinking. And, as the roses return to the garden, so they bloom in Mary's cheeks - as she discovers an ancient and timeless magic that every gardener will recognise and understand.

Published in 1909, it is one of Frances Hodgson Burnett's most popular novels with adults as well as children. It has been adapted countless times for stage and screen and spawned spin-offs and sequels all over the world.

Title: The Just So Stories

Author: Rudyard Kipling

Narrator: Art Malik

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-17-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

'In the high and far off times...' begins Rudyard Kipling's 'How the Elephant Got His Trunk', and off we are taken by one of the most supreme storytellers into a world where childrens questions are turned neatly on their heads and questions are provided which, far from stopping the stream of enquiries, only serve to make it gush faster.

These astonishingly funny and remarkably clever tales were first conceived for Kipling's eldest daughter, Josephine, who died in the influenza outbreak of 1899 and follow directly from the tale told to Mowgli in the second Jungle Book (1895) of 'How the Tiger Got His Stripes'.

They have become some of the most popular childrens works. Even when Kipling's other writing was undergoing a vicious backlash against a fairly obvious affection for the British Colonial system, 'The Just So Stories' remained firmly untouched by the swingeing criticism. And quite rightly, they are glorious.

Children love the innovatively mistaken narrator and Kipling's gently wicked undermining of the voice of authority, a line which leads directly to the children's books of such modern writers as Roald Dahl. Parents love the provoking of enquiry, which Kipling believed to be the greatest tool with which a child should be equipped. The rest of us just love the beauty of the writing and the fact that these stories remain extremely funny.
