Nine Unlikely Tales by E. Nesbit audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

Nine Unlikely Tales is a sparkling collection of nine offbeat fairy stories from E. Nesbit, where the ordinary rules of everyday life are cheerfully overturned and logic is treated as just another plaything. In one tale, practical little Matilda and her no-nonsense nurse, Pridmore, take a wrong turn and tumble into a village of impossible surprises, complete with a bewitched royal court and a wonderfully troublesome bird called the Cockatoucan. Elsewhere, a living bouncing ball named Whereyouwantogoto ricochets through wishes and consequences, while other stories introduce an arithmetic fairy who insists sums can change the world, a prince whose fate is tangled up with two mice and a busy kitchen, and a town hidden inside a library that becomes more real the deeper you look. With quick wit, sly moral twists, and a fondness for children who question grown-up certainty, Nesbit invites listeners into miniature worlds where transformation is always one misunderstanding away and imagination is the most powerful kind of magic.

The Last Trail by Zane Grey audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the raw, river-laced wilderness of the Ohio Valley after the Revolutionary War, survival depends on sharp eyes, steady nerves, and trust that is never guaranteed. A lone family group, led by pioneer George Sheppard, pushes toward the tenuous safety of Fort Henry - only to discover that the greatest dangers are not always the ones that move through the trees. When a young woman is seized from the fort and carried into contested territory by a brutal mix of renegades and hostile warriors, two legendary border fighters, Jonathan Zane and the feared scout Lewis Wetzel, take up the pursuit. Their chase becomes a grim test of endurance across dark forests and winding trails where every footprint can be a trap and every campfire a beacon. Along the way, loyalties fracture, old frontier hatreds flare, and a fragile romance begins to form under the pressure of constant threat. Gritty, atmospheric, and steeped in the peril of early American settlement, The Last Trail follows a last, desperate venture into the unknown - with the promise that only the strongest will return unchanged.

My Antonia by Willa Cather audiobook.

Genre: drama

On the wide, windswept Nebraska prairie of the late 1800s, young Jim Burden is sent from Virginia to live with his grandparents in the small railroad town of Black Hawk. There he meets Antonia Shimerda, the spirited daughter of Bohemian immigrants struggling to make a life on unfamiliar land. As Jim grows from a lonely newcomer into a sharp-eyed student, Antonia becomes the beating heart of his new world - fearless, hardworking, and determined to belong, even when hardship and prejudice press in on her family. Through seasons of backbreaking farm work, the bustling social life of town, and the pull of education and opportunity, Jim watches Antonia's life unfold alongside his own. Their bond is shaped by memory as much as by presence, and the prairie itself stands as both a promise and a test. Tender, vivid, and elegiac, My Antonia explores friendship, first love, displacement, and the cost of growing up, offering a portrait of the American frontier where endurance and hope are carved into everyday life.
