The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling audiobook.

Genre: adventure

This classic children's book by Rudyard Kipling tells the story of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves: his escapades and adventures with his dear friends Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, his capture by the Monkey-People, his attempt at reintegration into human society, and his ultimate triumph over the lame tiger Shere Khan. The account of Mowgli's adventures is followed by several short stories, including the tales of the brave white seal, Kotick, and the tenacious mongoose, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Packed with adventure and Jungle Law wisdom, this book has pervaded popular culture as the basis of many film and stage adaptations, including the popular Disney movie, and through its adoption as a motivational book by the Cub Scouts.

Just William by Richmal Crompton audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In Just William, Richmal Crompton introduces William Brown, an eleven-year-old whirlwind of confidence, mischief, and unstoppable logic, who lives in a quiet English village between the wars. To the adults around him, William is a constant problem to be managed: his well-meaning but exasperated parents, his dignified sister Ethel, and a parade of neighbors and visitors who underestimate him at their peril. To William, however, the world is a place of thrilling possibilities and unjust rules that practically beg to be improved. With his loyal band of friends - the Outlaws - William launches one scheme after another: forming clubs, staging performances, chasing grand business ideas, and dispensing rough-and-ready justice, all while clashing with snobbish boys, strict grown-ups, and the ever-embarrassing pressure to be 'good.' Each episode turns everyday situations into comic chaos, capturing the fierce seriousness of childhood, the absurdities of adult society, and the timeless gap between what children intend and what actually happens. Sharp, warm, and delightfully irreverent, this classic collection celebrates imagination, friendship, and the trouble a determined boy can find anywhere.

Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell ~ Full Audiobook [self help]

Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell audiobook.

Genre: self help

One of the most requested motivational lectures of all time. 'I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich ... The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. Let me say here clearly ... ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. That is why they carry on great enterprises and find plenty of people to work with them. It is because they are honest men. .' The central idea of the work is that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune—the resources to achieve all good things are present in one's own community; look in your own backyard for those acres of diamonds. This theme is developed by an introductory anecdote, credited by Conwell to an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went off in futile search for them. The new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property. Conwell elaborates on the theme through examples of success, genius, service, or other virtues involving ordinary Americans contemporary to his audience: 'dig in your own backyard!'.
