    Pretending to Be Me: Philp Larkin, a Portrait , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    Pretending to Be Me is an intimate, acerbic, and occasionally scurrilous show about the poet, jazz aficionado, and Hull University librarian Philip Larkin. Larkin has moved home: surrounded by packing cases, playing selections from his favourite jazz LPs, and making himself cups of tea, and later whiskies, he reflects wryly on writing and life. Hilarious and moving, the narrative shifts seamlessly between Larkin's outrageous wit and the poems, which Courtenay reads with powerful directness and simplicity. Philip Larkin, one of the foremost figures in 20th-Century English poetry, feared his epitaph would be: "They f*** you up, your mum and dad". This, and other familiar poems, including "An Arundel Tomb", "The Whitsun Weddings", and "High Windows". are included in Pretending to Be Me. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Courtenay.

    Alison Larkin Presents The Yellow Wallpaper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
    This powerful recording of "The Yellow Wallpaper", read by award-winning narrator Alison Larkin, is followed by an essay entitled "Why I Wrote the Yellow Wallpaper", by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.   The narrator of this chilling tale speaks of a beautiful house in the country her husband has taken for the summer. But its beauty is marred by her oppressive bedroom, its ugly yellow wallpaper, and the rest cure that her doctor and husband have forced on her.  "Alison Larkin's reading of The Yellow Wallpaper is haunting. Through careful intonation, Larkin helps the listener to grasp the main character's growing mental instability despite her certainty of her perceptions. Larkin finishes the audiobook with a letter from the author explaining why she wrote the story.... Outstanding." (AudioFile Magazine) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alison Larkin.

    "Riders of the Purple Sage" tells the story of Jane Withersteen and her battle to overcome persecution by members of her polygamous Mormon fundamentalist church. A leader of the church, Elder Tull, wants to marry her. Withersteen gets help from a number of friends, including Bern Venters and Lassiter, a notorious gunman and killer of Mormons.

"The Rainbow Trail" takes place ten years after events of Riders of the Purple Sage. The wall to Surprise Valley has broken, and Jane Withersteen is forced to choose between Lassiter's life and Fay Larkin's marriage to a Mormon.

    Sense and Sensibility: With an Excerpt from 'Jane and Me: My Austen Heritage' , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 855min
    AudioFile Earphones award-winning recording!Following her critically acclaimed narration of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with Songs from Regency England, Emma, Persuasion & Poems and Northanger Abbey & The History of England, award-winning narrator Alison Larkin is back, bringing depth and a light comedic touch in this Earphones award-winning recording of Austen's first published novel. "Alison Larkin's narration will captivate listeners from the first sentence. Her delicate voice and perfect English accent sweep the listener back in time, right into the lives of the characters," raves AudioFile Magazine. Thanks to her manipulative daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters must leave their beloved family home in Sussex for a small cottage in Devon. While Marianne, impulsive and passionate to the core falls madly in love with an unsuitable man, her more conventional sister Elinor struggles to hide her true feelings for the man she must try to forget. This AudioFile award-winning recording of Sense and Sensibility is followed by a short excerpt from Jane and Me: My Austen Heritage by Caroline Jane Knight, Jane Austen's fifth great niece — the last of Austen's descendants to grow up on the estate where Austen lived and wrote. Like the Dashwoods, Caroline and her family were forced to leave their family home for financial reasons. The parallels are fascinating. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alison Larkin.
