Buried Alive by Arnold Bennett audiobook.

Genre: drama

The hero is Mr Priam Farll, a painter of considerable ability. He is, however, extremely shy – so shy that when his valet, Henry Leek, dies suddenly, the doctor believes the dead man to be Priam Farll and the live man the valet. The artist does not try to disabuse him. After the funeral (in Westminster Abbey), Priam Farll marries a widow and lives a happy life until the loss of his wife’s money means he has to take up painting again. A connoisseur of art recognises his style but thinks the paintings are by an imposter. He makes a fortune by buying his works through a small dealer and selling them in America as genuine. Meanwhile Priam Farll refuses through his obstinate shyness to prove his own identity.

Adeline Mowbray by Amelia Opie audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In Amelia Opie's Adeline Mowbray, a brilliant, warm-hearted young woman comes of age under the influence of bold new ideas about reason, independence, and marriage. Raised by a mother who prizes enlightened principles over convention, Adeline is encouraged to question the social rules that govern love and respectability. When she encounters the charismatic writer and thinker Glenmurray, Adeline is drawn into a relationship that seems to promise moral sincerity without the constraints of law or ceremony. But the world beyond the salon is less forgiving than the world of theory. As Adeline tries to live honestly according to her beliefs, she faces gossip, legal vulnerability, and the quiet cruelty of polite society - pressures that test her pride, her compassion, and her sense of self. Moving between intimate domestic scenes and public scrutiny, the novel follows Adeline's shifting friendships, painful reckonings, and hard-won insight into the gap between ideals and lived experience. At once a critique of hypocrisy and a portrait of a woman struggling to define her own life, Opie's story asks what it costs to defy custom, and who pays the price when principle collides with prejudice.

Treasury of Beatrix Potter by Beatrix Potter audiobook.

Genre: family

Step into the green and bustling countryside of Beatrix Potter's England in Treasury of Beatrix Potter, a beloved collection of classic tales where animals wear coats, take tea, and get into very human trouble. Here you will meet the mischievous Peter Rabbit as he tests the boundaries of safety and obedience, the determined Jemima Puddle-Duck as she searches for a secure place to nest, and the sharp-witted woodland creatures who must navigate vanity, appetite, and danger. Each story unfolds like a miniature drama: a simple errand becomes an adventure, a quiet garden turns into a perilous maze, and a cozy home is never far from the wildness just beyond the hedgerow. Potter's gentle humor and keen observations bring to life a world governed by manners and consequences, where courage can be small but meaningful and where cleverness does not always guarantee an easy escape. Perfect for listening together or returning to alone, this treasury celebrates curiosity, comfort, and the timeless thrill of a good story told softly but with real stakes.
