Title: Black Beauty

Author: Anna Sewell

Narrator: Colin Salmon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-13-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

This is one of the most famous children's books ever written. Since its publication in 1877, it has sold well over 30 million copies. It held the world record for sales far and above any other piece of children's literature for 130 years, until the year 1997, when a certain novel named Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published.

It wasnt, however, written for children - the story of the highly spirited and gorgeous black stallion and his transfer from owner to increasingly abusive owner until his final happy rescue was originally intended to be a campaigning work distributed to those who worked with horses in the middle of the 19th century.

But there was something about the story which led to its becoming one of the most successful pieces of children's literature ever written. The great success of Black Beauty was partly due to the novelty of telling the story from the horse's point of view, unheard of in 1877, when horses were not even supposed to have points of view. The clarity, simplicity and energy of that voice is still astonishing, but more astonishing in the 1870s was the public reaction to the book,. This gentle Quaker woman used the voice of a strong, black horse to undermine most of the assumptions of working Victorian Britain.

Title: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Author: Lewis Carroll

Narrator: Julia McKenzie

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-15

Publisher: silksoundbooks Limited

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Alice's rather wild adventures in Wonderland begin on an unadventurous picnic, when her attention, wandering off from the lesson it was supposed to be glued to, is caught by a passing white rabbit who happens to be wearing a waistcoat and muttering to himself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"

As he disappears down a rabbit hole, and Alice, for want of anything better to do, follows him, a tale of almost hallucinogenic wildness unfolds as she finds herself in Wonderland - a fantastical world where the characters Alice meets and the situations in which she finds herself have the whiff of symbol and allegory about them but are too whimsical to be pinned down as such.

The story of how Alice's Adventures in Wonderland came to be written, and the authors association with the Liddell family - and Alice Liddell in particular - is now the stuff of legend. One summer afternoon in 1862, the author, in the company of the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, took the three Liddell sisters, Lorina Charlotte, Alice Pleasance and Edith Mary, out in a rowing boat on the River Thames, near Oxford. On that boat trip, he entertained the girls by telling them a story about a bored little girl called Alice who goes looking for an adventure. Two years later, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published - and sold out rapidly.

Title: Emma - The 200th Anniversary Audio Edition

Author: Jane Austen

Narrator: Alison Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-15

Publisher: Alison Larkin Presents

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 68 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Following the runaway success of her stunning rendition of Pride and Prejudice, award-winning narrator Alison Larkin returns - breathing new life into Jane Austen's Emma. Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the book, Larkin - a witty and always original voice - is the perfect vessel to bring this classically satirical novel to a new audience. A fresh and hugely entertaining listen, Larkin, also an acclaimed comedienne and the best-selling author of The English American, joins her voice deftly with Austen's clever style and the result is pure, boundless fun.

Critic Reviews:

"There's a vintage feel to Alison Larkin's narration of this Austen favorite. The bell-like quality of her sweetly accented voice harkens back to another, quieter, time. However, her delivery of this much-loved matchmaking story offers a flexibility that is contemporary and easy to hear. Larkin's vocals can be precious or blustery, proper or pompous, depending on which character she occupies, and she creates distinctions between each with skill. The pace is brisk, and Larkin's treatment of the light humor in the novel is so subtle it could be missed by the distracted listener." (

AudioFile)

"[Larkin] approaches Austen as a satirist - she has genuine theatrical skill, so her Mrs. Elton, swooping and dipping in flights of arrogant self-serving nonsensical observation, and her Miss Bates, anxious and desperately self-conscious even as she talks without end, are both sustained comic creations. The voice reveals all." (

The New Yorker)

Title: Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success

Author: James Allen

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-17-15

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

This is one of the last works of James Allen and was first published posthumously in 1913. As Lily Allen says in her preface: "Like all his works it is eminently practical. He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing, or to add another to his many books; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice."

This audiobook may consider as a summation of the philosophy of James Allen, which is explored in much greater detail in his earlier books.
