    Title: Village That Voted The Earth Was Flat
    Author: Rudyard Kipling
    Narrator: Tony Addison
    Total lenght: 1:55:13
    Language: English
    Release date: 07/28/2016
    Genres: Humorous Fiction

    Summary:
    Possibly as relevant today as it ever was, this story tells the tale of an English village, Huckley, that is beguiled into voting the Earth was flat. How? And why? That is what this beguiling tale of Kipling's sets out to tell us; how the local Huckley squire, Sir Thomas Ingell, having lured two newspaper proprietors, a reporter and an MP into committing a speeding violation, has the tables turned on him by their making his village (and, thereby, him) an international laughing stock - with the help of Bat Masquerier, music hall proprietor, example of The Totally Amoral Soul and Personal Devil (to quote one of his co-conspirators). The dancing of the Gubby, the totally imaginary Huckley village dance, in the Houses of Parliament serves as a climax and a high spot of the tale. This story can be found in the Kipling collection "A Diversity of Creatures". ( Tony Addison)

    Title: Robert Schumann, Tone Poet Prophet And Critic
    Author: Herbert Francis Peyser
    Narrator: David Wales
    Total lenght: 1:31:52
    Language: English
    Release date: 07/30/2016
    Genres: Biography & Autobiography, Music

    Summary:
    [This is] the sketchiest outline of Robert Schumanns short life but amazingly rich achievement. Together with Haydn and Schubert he was, perhaps, the most completely lovable of the great masters. It is hard, moreover, to think of a composer more strategically placed in his epoch or more perfectly timed in his coming. Tone poet, fantast, critic, visionary, prophethe was all of these! And he passed through every phase, it seemed, of romantic experience. The great and even the semi-great of a fabulous period of music were his intimatespersonages like Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Moscheles, Ferdinand David, Hiller, Joachim, Brahms. He won the woman he loved after a bitter struggle against a tyrannical father-in-law. He created much of the worlds greatest piano music, many of its loveliest songs, four great symphonies, superb chamber compositions and a good deal else. Summary from Author's Foreword
