  • The Heart Of The Lion

    Jean Plaidy, Jilly Bond

    MP3 CD (Isis Audio Books, Jan. 1, 2011)
    At the age of 32, Richard the Lionheart has finally succeeded Henry II to the English throne. And, against his father's wishes, he intends to make Berengaria, daughter of the King of Navarre, his Queen.

Leaving England to begin his crusade, Richard entrusts his kingdom to his brother, John, who casts covetous eyes on the crown, and his sister, Joanna, who is willing to defy even a king.
  • The Revolt Of The Eaglets

    Jean Plaidy, Jilly Bond

    MP3 CD (Isis Audio Books, Oct. 1, 2010)
    News of Thomas a Becket's martyrdom has spread throughout Christendom and the blame is laid at the feet of Henry Plantagenet, King of England. Two years later, with Becket canonised, Henry's position is precarious: punished at the Pope's insistence for his part in Becket's death, he now also has an enemy in his Queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, after her discovery of his longstanding infidelity with Rosamund Clifford. Eleanor is determined to seek vengeance, so, with King Philip of France, she encourages her sons to conspire, both against their father and each other. Much embattled, the old eagle Henry struggles to fend off both rebellion and the plots of his aggressively circling offspring...
  • Ladies' Bane

    Patricia Wentworth, Diana Bishop

    Audio CD (Isis Audio Books, May 1, 2011)
    Ladies' Bane - it was a curious name for a house. But visiting it for the first time Ione found it a curious house. Curious, and rather frightening. They said in the village that anyone who was its mistress would lose the thing she cared for most. And its present mistress was Allegra - Ione's sister. They had not met for two years. Appointments had been made but not kept. Visits had been postponed time and time again. There had been excuse after excuse. And then, suddenly Ione found herself not only invited but positively urged to come. To begin with she had been puzzled. But soon she was not only worried, but badly, deeply scared... Thank heavens Miss Silver was in town.
  • Redcoat

    Bernard Cornwell, Hayward Morse

    Audio Cassette (Isis Audio Books, July 1, 2003)
    Torn between two nations... When Britain and America went to war, it was as if brother fought against brother. They spoke the same language; might have walked the same hills as boys; they might even love the same woman. At the forefront of the battle, between roaring enemy guns and the backstabbing of their own politicians, stood the Redcoats. To the British, a Redcoat was the brave suppressor of upstart Yankee rebellion. To the American Patriots, the "Bloodybacks" were the thieves of their freedom and plunderers of their birthright. The rebels knew only too well that a soldier who was brave in the face of flames, smoke and death could be made weak by the swish of a muslin gown.
  • The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents

    Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs

    Audio Cassette (Isis Audio Books, Dec. 1, 2001)
    Rats! They're everywhere: in the breadbins, dancing across tabletops, stealing pies from under the cooks' noses. So what does every town need? A good Piper to lure them away. That's where Maurice comes in. But he's only a cat - albeit one that talks - so although he has the ideas, he needs rats and someone to play the pipe. Who better than the kid to play the pipe? And Dangerous Beans and Peaches. And Hamnpork (who doesn't really like what's been happening since The Change: all a rat leader needs is to be big and stroppy - thinking is just not his thing). Then they arrive in Bad Blintz which is suffering a plague of rats and find there are NO other rats anywhere (though the two resident rat-catchers seem to have plenty of tails to show, at 50 pence each). Someone else has ideas, and Maurice is not pleased...

  • The Rats

    James Herbert, Gareth Armstrong

    Audio Cassette (Isis Audio Books, Aug. 1, 2005)
    "The effectiveness of the gruesome set pieces and brilliant finale are all its own." - Sunday TimesIt was only when the bones of the first devoured victims were discovered that the true nature and power of these swarming black creatures with their razor sharp teeth and the taste for human blood began to be realised by a panic-stricken city. For millions of years, man and rats had been natural enemies. But now for the first time - suddenly, shockingly, horribly - the balance of power had shifted...
  • Small Gods

    Terry Pratchett, Nigel Planer

    Audio Cassette (Isis Audio Books, Feb. 1, 1997)
    Lost in the chill deeps of space between the galaxies, it sails on forever, a flat, circular world carried on the back of a giant turtle - Discworld - a land where the unexpected can be expected. Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god, to be sure. But bossy. Brutha is the Chosen One. His god has spoken to him, admittedly while in the shape of a tortoise. Brutha is a simple lad with few wants. He wants to overthrow a huge and corrupt church. He wants to prevent a horrible and holy war. He wants peace and brotherly love. He wants the inquisition to stop torturing him now, please. But most of all, what he really wants is for his god to choose Someone Else.
