Half-Past Bedtime by H. H. Bashford audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Ah, the wonderful adventures of Marian after she meets the strange Mr. Jugg. 'And who are you, Mr Jugg?' she inquired. 'I'm the King of the Bumpies,' he replied. When Marian was puzzled there came a little straight line, exactly in the middle, between her two eyebrows. 'What are bumpies?' she said. 'My hat!' he gasped. 'Haven't you ever heard of bumpies?' Marian shook her head. 'Oh dear, oh dear!' he sighed. 'Have you ever heard of angels?' 'Well, of course,' said Marian. 'Everybody's heard of angels.' 'Well then, bumpies,' said Mr Jugg, 'are baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly.' 'I see,' said Marian, 'but why are they called bumpies?' 'Because they bump,' said Mr Jugg, 'not knowing how.'

The Passionate Friends by H. G. Wells audiobook.

Genre: romance

H. G. Wells is best known for his science fiction, but some of his greatest works were in other genres. The Passionate Friends is a love story. It also is a story about dreams, despair, jealousy, sex, the struggle against social convention, the future of civilization, and much much more. It is written by a father to his son, 'not indeed to the child you are now, but to the man you are going to be.' He writes it so that one day, perhaps when he is dead, his grown son can read it and rediscover him as a friend and equal. In the process, he tries to make sense of a lifetime's experiences and distill some kind of wisdom from them. It is quite simply a beautiful book, both inspiring and heartbreaking.

Jacqueline of Golden River by H. M. Egbert audiobook.

Genre: folklore

Jacqueline seems to have contracted a touch of amnesia, as she is found in an apartment with a dead man, and with a weapon in her hand. But she remembers nothing of any incident, remembers not her name nor where she comes from, not even why she is where she was found. She only remembers her father, and that he is in danger. Action and adventure soon follow, as Paul Hewlett and Jacqueline attempt to get answers to her questions, taking them on a journey into Quebec and points northward, and Paul knows that they are being followed during their trip. What secrets are both Jacqueline and Paul unaware of? What will they uncover following their northbound journey? Who is Jacqueline?

H. M. Egbert was one of multiple pseudonyms used by author Victor Rousseau Emanuel.
