The Royal Book of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In The Royal Book of Oz, the Emerald City is bustling with celebrations, but the peace of Oz is shaken by rumors of a mysterious figure who claims a startling right to the throne. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, Princess Ozma, and their friends are drawn into a tangle of royal questions, secret histories, and far-flung journeys across the many odd and wonderful countries that surround the Emerald City. As messages go missing and loyalties are tested, the travelers must separate truth from trickery and protect Oz from being reshaped by ambition. Along the way, they encounter strange courts, curious creatures, and comical hazards that turn every road into a new puzzle, where courage and kindness matter as much as cleverness. Ruth Plumly Thompson blends brisk adventure with playful humor, building a story about identity, legitimacy, and what it really means to be royal. With danger brewing behind pageantry, the fate of Oz may depend on whether its friends can uncover the real story before a false claim becomes a real catastrophe.

The Nature and Authority of Conscience by Rufus Jones audiobook.

Genre: religion

In this 1920 Swarthmore Lecture, Quaker thinker and philosopher Rufus M. Jones tackles a question at the crossroads of ethics and faith: what is conscience, and why should it command our allegiance when custom, church, and state all claim authority? Beginning with familiar moral tensions, Jones widens the lens to consider the idea of a moral universe and the place of the individual within it. He argues that conscience is more than a passing emotion or simple social conditioning: it is a deep, active capacity that can be awakened, educated, clarified, and also misled. Along the way, he probes how moral insight develops through experience and disciplined inner life, and he tests the power of external voices - law, tradition, public opinion, and institutional religion - against the inward summons to truth and goodness. With a distinctly Quaker emphasis on the Inner Light, Jones challenges listeners to examine the roots of their moral judgments and to form a conscience strong enough to resist coercion, yet humble enough to learn. Part philosophical inquiry and part spiritual counsel, this concise classic speaks to anyone wrestling with duty, freedom, and the demands of integrity.

The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In The Lost World, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle launches readers into a high-stakes expedition where science, pride, and raw survival collide. When the loud, brilliant, and stubborn Professor George Edward Challenger claims he has discovered a remote South American plateau where prehistoric creatures still live, London laughs him out of respectable circles. Determined to prove his case and silence his critics, Challenger assembles a small party: the sharp-tongued skeptic Professor Summerlee, the seasoned big-game hunter Lord John Roxton, and Edward Malone, an ambitious young journalist eager for a story that will make his name. What begins as a quest for evidence becomes a fight against an unforgiving wilderness, treacherous terrain, and rival human dangers, as the team pushes deeper into a place that should not exist. Amid startling encounters and close calls, Malone records not only marvels that challenge modern understanding, but also the shifting bonds and fractures within the group. Fast-paced and vividly imagined, the novel explores the thrill of discovery, the cost of obsession, and the thin line between civilization and the wild.
