Beauty (in full: Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse, first published November 24, 1877) is Anna Sewell's only novel, composed in the last years of her life between 1871 and 1877 while confined to her house as an invalid.
The story is told in the first person (or "first horse") as an autobiographical memoir told by a highbred horse named Black
Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a foal on an English farm, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London,
to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and
kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to
the kindness, sympathy, and understanding of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse
behaviour lending the novel a good deal of accuracy
A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court $8.00 MP3
CD by Mark Twain Come and hear the strange tale of The Boss Hank Morgan, a modern day (at
the time of publication) Connecticut Yankee who oddly finds himself transported to the court of the legendary
King Arthur . Hank, or simply, The Boss, as he comes to be most frequently known, quickly uses his modern day knowledge and
education to pass himself off as a great magician, to get himself out of all sorts of surprising, and often amusing situations,
as well as to advance the technological and cultural status of the nation in which he finds himself.
In the
rather un-subtle sub-text of the story, Twain uses The Boss to express a surprisingly pragmatic and frequently contradictory
philosophy. The Boss explores the relative merits of Democracy, and Monarchy, he expresses his views on the “Nature
v. Nurture” debate.

Bradley Zimmer in 1963. Bart Steele, Space Academy graduate, is on his way home to his father’s business - he runs

sleep as passengers aboard Lhari vessels as to not
reveal the secret.
Some humans, the Mentorians, have had a slight genetic shift which enhanced their vision to withstand
the light levels that the aliens Lhari use and live in. Mentorians perceive a wider optical spectrum than ordinary humans
– some can see the ‘eighth color’. Mentorians act as translators, middleman and interpreters between
the two races. But their ability sets them apart from the rest of humanity. Bart, half Mentorian, has this ability.Bart,
surgically altering his appearance to hire as a Lhari on a homeworld bound Lhari vessel, attempts to steal the secret
of the Warp Drive - an attempt on which countless humans spies have failed before.
Dorothy and the Wizard in the Land of Oz $8.00 MP3 CD - Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz was the 4th of 14 Oz books
written by L. Frank Baum . Published in 1908, while residing in Coronado, California, it is considered one of the "darker"

In this title, Dorothy, her kitten Eureka, Jim, a cab horse, and Zeb, a ranch hand, descend into the earth through a rift
opened by an earthquake. There they encounter the "humbug" wizard who once ruled Oz. In their journey back to the earth’s
surface, they meet a number of potentially dangerous magical peoples and creatures including the cold-blooded Mangaboos, invisible
bears, the flying wooden Gargoyles, a den of dragonettes, and an eccentric inventor. With a little help from Ozma, the group
end up in Oz where they are treated to feasts and celebrations. The animals end up humbled by a few of their experiences in
Oz, where all animals can talk, and return home a little wiser

Tom Swift and the Visitor
from Planet X 8.00 MP3 CD - Tom Swift Jr. and his associates
at Swift Enterprises wait breathlessly for what may well be the most important scientific event in history—the arrival
of the visitor from Planet X—a visitor in the form of energy. But there are factions at work determined to snatch the
energy, which Tom has named Exman, from the young scientist-inventor's grasp. First, a series of unexplainable, devastating
earthquakes threaten to destroy a good portion of the earth, and Tom suspects the Brungarian rebels who obviously would like
to capture Exman and use the space visitor to further their own evil purposes. With the security of Enterprises and Exman
at stake, Tom creates two of his greatest inventions—a Quakelizor to counteract the simulated earth tremors, and a container
or "body" to house the energy from outer space. If the earthquakes cannot be stopped, the entire world will be threatened
by destruction, and the Brungarian forces will conquer the earth. How Tom utilizes all his scientific knowledge to produce
swift-action results and outwit the Brungarians makes one of the most exciting Tom Swift adventures to date

The Adventures of Fu Manchu
$10.00 MP3 CD - Based on the Fu Manchu books
by Sax Rohmer. The character of Fu Manchu epitomizes the fear of the "Yellow hopes, instead he chose the path of evil. The
heroes, Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie, relentlessly pursue Manchu through each of the tales". Manchu was a gifted person who
could have been one of mankind’s greatest. They have to overcome Manchu’s despicable use of weapons like snakes,
poison mist, drugs, etc. Very similar to Holmes/Watson
in that Nayland Smith, an officer in the British Army on special assignment,
and his smart cohort Dr. James Petrie are the savvy detectives who face Fu Manchu's many machinations. John Daly does a great, but
restrained and cold-blooded acting job as the insidious Dr. Fu.
American Indian Fairy Tales - $10.00 MP3 CD - With
no written language, Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region passed their cultural identity down through the generations
by way of stories. Far more than mere tales to amuse children, they passed along the collective wisdom of the tribes. In the
1830s, government Indian Agent and ethnologist Henry R Schoolcraft learned the language of these people and went out to collect
and preserve their stories before the tribes disappeared under the westward rush of American civilization. Though these stories
were recast as children's fairy tales in the 1920s, they contain much of the old wisdom of a culture which has largely disappeared.
