  • Emma

    Jane Austen

    Audio CD (Cherry Hill Publishing, April 29, 2013)
    First published in 1816, Emma is Jane Austen's classic comic novel about a lively, intellectual twenty-one year old girl who lives with her wealthy father. Despite her intelligence, Emma Woodhouse has little to do and is often quite weary of her empty everyday life. Having few companions of her own age, Emma often entertains herself by attempting to make matches between those around her. She jumps at the chance to help a destitute girl of unknown parentage, Harriet Smith, on her quest to secure the local vicar, Mr. Elton, as a potential suitor. As the story progresses, Austen weaves a wonderfully enchanting and complicated tale about the consequences of matchmaking gone awry.

  • Peter Pan

    James Matthew Barrie

    Audio CD (Cherry Hill Publishing, Oct. 24, 2011)
    James Matthew Barrie s Peter Pan was first performed as a play in 1904, and has since become one of the most widely performed and adapted children s stories in the world. It is considered by many to be the only children s play that is also a great work of literature. Peter Pan s success is due in part to a fresh means of storytelling that appeals to both adults and children. While children enjoy the imaginative story and flights of fancy, adults can relate to Peter Pan s desire to forego mature responsibilities and live in the moment. Audiobook narrated by Bobbin Beam.
  • The Mysterious Affair at Styles

    Agatha Christie

    Audio CD (Cherry Hill Publishing, Dec. 11, 2011)
    In this first novel by Agatha Christie, she introduces the inimitable Hercule Poirot, who would go on to appear in 33 Christie novels and 54 short stories. Outside of Sherlock Holmes and perhaps Philip Marlowe, he is the best-known detective in the history of the genre. The Mysterious Affair at Styles deals with the case of an old woman poisoned with strychnine for her money. Nothing is obvious, however, in the way Christie handles a plot. The story spirals round and round, leading the reader in one direction, then another, convincing the reader that first one character, then another is the guilty party.

  • The Valley of the Giants

    Peter B. Kyne

    Audio CD (Cherry Hill Publishing, Dec. 15, 2010)
    In the summer of 1850 a topsail schooner slipped into the cove under Trinidad Head and dropped anchor at the edge of the kelp-fields. Fifteen minutes later her small-boat deposited on the beach a man armed with long squirrel-rifle and an axe, and carrying food and clothing in a brown canvas pack. The man was John Cardigan; in that lonely, hostile land he was the first pioneer. This is the tale of Cardigan and Cardigan's son, for in his chosen land the pioneer leader in the gigantic task of hewing a path for civilization was to know the bliss of woman's love and of parenthood, and the sorrow that comes of the loss of a perfect mate; he was to know the tremendous joy of accomplishment and worldly success after infinite labor; and in the sunset of life he was to know the dull despair of failure and ruin. Read by Roger Melin, music by Kevin MacLeod.
  • War of the Worlds

    H.G. Wells

    Audio CD (Cherry Hill Publishing, Sept. 15, 2011)
    No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Thus begins one of the most terrifying and morally prescient science fiction novels ever penned. Beginning with a series of strange flashes in the distant night sky, the Martian attack initially causes little concern on Earth. Then the destruction erupts ten massive aliens roam England and destroy with heat rays everything in their path. Very soon mankind finds itself on the brink of extinction.
