The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In fog-bound Victorian London, reputable lawyer Gabriel John Utterson becomes troubled by an unsettling name that keeps surfacing in connection with his longtime friend, the brilliant and charitable Dr Henry Jekyll. The name is Edward Hyde - a violent, secretive figure who seems to possess an uncanny claim on Jekyll's life, fortune, and even his safety. As disturbing incidents mount across the city, Utterson is drawn into a slow, obsessive investigation, navigating locked doors, contradictory testimonies, and a growing fear that something unnatural is at work behind Jekyll's respectable facade. Meanwhile, Jekyll retreats from society, his behavior shifting between warmth and cold panic, as if he is fighting a private battle no one else can see. What begins as a legal concern over a troubling will becomes a tense psychological mystery about identity, temptation, and the masks people wear to keep their darkest impulses hidden. With each clue, the boundary between civilized appearance and savage desire grows thinner, and Utterson must confront a question that threatens the very idea of a single, stable self: how well can anyone truly know another person - or themselves?

More William by Richmal Crompton audiobook.

Genre: comedy

The second of Crompton's series of 39 books about William Brown, our cheeky 11 year-old protagonist. A hero to some, a dastardly villain to others, this book is structured round a year in his life. Starting with William waking up on Christmas morning and ending with him going to sleep the following Christmas Eve, there are the usual round of misadventures, misunderstanding and general mayhem in between. When a boy like William wakes up under a motto that says 'A Busy Day Is A Happy Day' alongside a copy of 'Things A Boy Can Do', the chaos is just around the corner. Includes the very first William short story - 'Rice Mould'. Often dismissed as children's literature, the first few books of William stories were probably aimed more at an adult audience. They resonate with a distinctly English humour, but there are obvious echoes from 'Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn'.

The Story of the Middle Ages by Samuel B. Harding audiobook.

Genre: history

In The Story of the Middle Ages, historian Samuel B. Harding guides listeners through the long, dramatic centuries that bridged the ancient world and the modern age. Beginning with the fragmentation of the Roman world and the rise of new kingdoms, Harding traces how Europe slowly reorganized itself around the competing forces of kingship, feudal obligation, and the authority of the Church. Along the way, he introduces the people and movements that shaped medieval life - warriors and monks, emperors and popes, townsmen and merchants - and explains how their ambitions and conflicts remade politics, society, and belief. From noticing how law and custom evolved to understanding why crusades, reform movements, and dynastic struggles mattered, the book connects everyday institutions to the era's larger turning points. Clear, steady, and focused on the forces that drove change, Harding's narrative helps listeners see the Middle Ages not as a dark gap between brighter ages, but as a complex period of creation and transformation whose legacies still echo in modern Europe.
