In Unruly, David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Humour Helps !!
Reviewed: 2024-03-24
David Mitchell's wit and cleverness makes everything he does interesting and very funny ! I LOVED " UNRULY" partly because I enjoy history, but I bought this book because David's humour is the best!! ( I found myself actually remembering dates and names, ha ha. ) I think this would work perfect as a History book for today's students. (* language is for young "adults" )
Great book Mr. Mitchell, made extra special because it was narrated by you !! Thank you for all the laughs!!
p.s. please write & narrate more books and do more sitcoms, love all your work!! Really wished "UPSTART CROW" could have had more seasons...Just like a good teacher, you educate folks without them even realizing it. I love that too!!

In Two Words : Amazing Journey. Miss O'Connor, I wish to say thank you sincerely for sharing the story of your life and with such candor, too ! I've been listening to your book since shortly after you're very unexpected & extremely sad passing. Peace and blessings to you ��
My grown daughters and I are feeling your loss... You are a beautiful soul. Sinéad you seem to have always been ahead of the curve and on the " Right side of History" and way ahead of most of the rest of society. A true warrior who, while being a gifted 🎨 artist 🎶 was also deeply sensitive and empathetic alongside such cleverness. You were a natural born caregiver. Thank you again for your utterly riveting book... I think it will help other gifted people like yourself to find their tribe. A special thanks for doing your own narrating.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 193
This is the disturbing tale of the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll, a physician. A generous and philanthropic man, he is preoccupied with the problems of good and evil and with the possibility of separating them into distinct personalities. He develops a drug that transforms him into the demonic Mr. Hyde, in whose person he exhausts all the latent evil in his nature.

First published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows belongs to a golden age of children’s book. These charming tales of the riverbank, describing the adventures of Ratty, Mole, Badger, and their irrepressible but conceited friend, Toad of Toad Hall, have become classics loved as much, perhaps, by adults as by children.

Meet Agatha Christie, the best-selling novelist in human history. Her writing career spanned six decades, during which time she wrote 66 crime novels, 6 non-crime novels (including romances), and over 150 short stories. Not only was she a phenomenally successful novelist, but she is also the most successful female playwright of all time - her play “The Mousetrap� is the longest-running show in history. As you learn about Christie’s experiences and her storied career, you will better understand how the circumstances of her life shaped her work and vice versa.

In this BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of one of Jane Austen's most beloved works, the devoted Dashwood sisters are forced by tragic circumstances to set about the delicate task of finding suitable husbands. John Willoughby quickly and seemingly irreversibly captures Marianne's heart. Her sister, Elinor, finds few suitors and even fewer reasons to open up in a society fuelled by social status....

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Between his work on the 2014 Audible Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, and his performance of Classic Love Poems, narrator Richard Armitage ( The Hobbit, Hannibal) has quickly become a listener favorite. Now, in this defining performance of Charles Dickens' classic David Copperfield, Armitage lends his unique voice and interpretation, truly inhabiting each character and bringing real energy to the life of one of Dickens' most famous characters.
