Story
Dashing detective Lord Peter Wimsey is caught up in the murder trial of mystery writer Harriet Vane. Her fiance has died of poisoning exactly as described in one of Harriet's novels, so naturally she is the prime suspect. As Peter looks on, he not only falls in love with the accused but eagerly helps with Harriet's defense when the first trial ends in a hung jury. Will she be convicted and executed for the crime, or can he save her life and win her hand in marriage?

Nearly unlistenable

Recording is muffled, narrator is mediocre. Hopefully a new version comes out soon. Jonathan Keeble is way better.

Story
Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathleen can’t go home for their school holiday because their cousin is sick with measles there. Instead, they stay at Kathleen’s school with the French teacher. One morning, they set out to find adventure. Instead, they find an enchanted place - and magic, too! Walking through a nearby forest, they discover an enormous mansion, where a girl lies asleep in the garden. Although she pretends to be an enchanted princess, she is Mabel, the housekeeper’s niece. But she has a ring that really is magical. It can make the wearer invisible and grant wishes.

It was a lovely afternoon rest read. My four year old was ready to read it over again when we finished.

Story
The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval worldview, providing the historical and cultural background to the literature of the middle ages and renaissance. It describes the 'image' discarded by later years as "the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science, and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe". This, Lewis' last book, has been hailed as "the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind".

Excellent Narrator, and a note for first time readers
Reviewed: 07-12-23
C. S. Lewis hardly needs to be extolled The Discarded Image is excellent and you should read it), but I would like to hear this narrator read a work by Chaucer because his accent for the Chaucer quotes is great.
A note for first time readers: skip to the chapter entitled “The Heavens.” That’s where the meat is at. The first few chapters will reward a second read, but they’re hard for the first reading.

Story
Chesterton's Gateway was made for the person who has always loved Chesterton quotes, but has never been able to finish - or perhaps even start - a Chesterton book. This is because there really is no really good "first" Chesterton book. They are all hard the first time around. Chesterton was an essayist, and it is through his essays he is best discovered. Ethan Nicolle has put together this assortment of essays, a list he often gives to people who ask him where to start with Chesterton. Included are chapter introductions to help with context.

He loves it, so you’ll love it.

This is like being with your dad on game day or following an old restauranteur around a wine cellar. He is there to share his great love and admiration for Chesterton.
Ethan Nicole also gives just enough help to keep you engaged and understanding without sending you off on a wild goose chase. He moderates the distraction of the target reader well.
This is the perfect starting place.
As for Chesterton, any judgement of him say more about me than him. I’m going to finish Orthodoxy now.
