Queen Lucia by E. F. Benson audiobook.
Genre: comedy
E. F. Benson was born at Wellington College in Berkshire, where his father, who later went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury, was the first Headmaster. He wrote 105 books in all.
Queen Lucia (first published in 1920) was the first of Benson’s ‘Mapp and Lucia’ novels of which there were six. This first book is a comedy of manners based in the provincial village of Riseholme, where Emmeline Lucas (the Queen Lucia of the title) presides over the social and artistic universe of the gullible residents. Her aide-de-camp in these matters is the somewhat effete Georgie Pillson and the chief competitor for her ‘crown’ is Daisy Quantock. The scandal of the Guru, the psychical goings on with Princess Popoffski and the arrival into the sleepy village of a famous Prima Donna all conspire to threaten her supremacy...

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel DeFoe audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner (1719) is considered by many the first English novel. Based on the real-life experiences of the castaway Alexander Selkirk, the book has had a perennial appeal among readers of all ages-–especially the young adult reading public–-who continue to find inspiration in the inventive resourcefulness of its hero, sole survivor of a shipwreck who is marooned on an uninhabited island.
Especially poignant, after more than two decades of unbroken solitude, is the affection that Robinson develops for Friday, another survivor fleeing certain death at the hands of enemy tribesmen from the South American continent.

![undefined - Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]](https://storage.googleapis.com/goodpods-images-bucket/episode_images/53087856dafcac167899818c491d25d680ab6feb81e0059fb2376019c78c3ae5.avif)
Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens audiobook.
Genre: folklore
E. M. Berens' Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome is a richly told guide to the stories that shaped the imagination of the classical world. Written as an accessible companion for curious readers, it gathers the great cycles of Greek and Roman mythology into a clear, engaging narrative: the rise of the Olympian gods, the tangled relationships of divine families, and the mortal heroes who struggle under the gaze of fate. From thunder-wielding rulers and sea-borne powers to cunning messengers, vengeful goddesses, and patrons of art and war, Berens introduces each major deity with their symbols, domains, and most famous tales. The book then moves through legendary figures and adventures - quests, prophecies, transformations, and epic conflicts - while also tracing how Roman tradition adopted, renamed, and reshaped Greek myth. Along the way, it highlights recurring themes of pride and punishment, love and loss, duty and desire, and the fragile boundary between human courage and divine will. Ideal for listeners who want both story and structure, this collection offers a memorable doorway into the classical mythic canon.
