    The Living Ghosts of Prudhoe Castle: A True Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    Built soon after the Norman conquest of 1066, Prudhoe was continuously occupied for nine centuries. Following the First World War, it fell in to ruin until it eventually ended up in the hands of a landowner during the 1940s.  When the same wealthy property owner decided to buy up some of the land near the coast of Tynemouth, Elizabeth Rogers and her mother, who rented a cottage on the land, were told they would have to leave their home.  The landowner told them they would be given accommodation, at a very nominal weekly rent, at Prudhoe Castle in Northumberland, and since the only other option open to the Rogers was to be made homeless they accepted the offer.  "Living in a castle has its problems," Elizabeth told me. "The old steps, having to carry pails of water from outside when you want to wash or drink, and there were no toilet facilities, of course. Also, the only cooking facility was a primus stove or the fire. But the most frightening thing about living in Prudhoe Castle was the ghosts!" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacy Myatt.

    Milk the Iron Cow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
    Milk the Iron Cow begins in the months leading up to December 7, 1941, during World War II. The story is set in the Midwestern city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee has a huge industrial capacity: foundries, machine-shops, factories, rails systems, and water-ways. The lake-port and river docks are beehives of ships loading soldiers and war materials. Day and night, on the streets near the docks, there is a constant roar of motors as trucks arrive and leave from loading and unloading stations. This is a time when the industrial might of the US was converted from making automobiles and washing machines to airplanes and bombs; a time when men carried guns instead of lunch pails; a time when machines stood idle because there was no white men to operate them; a time when white women left home to take the place of white men in the factories. This is a time when most unions and companies continued to ban Negroes from skill-training or employment in all but janitorial jobs; a time when white men refused to have black men work alongside them; a time when colored men and women protested racial discrimination in employment, and along with the Urban League, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and A. Philip Randolph, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters' Union, took that protest to the streets, the courts, and to the president of the United States. Milk the Iron Cow is for lovers of a good story. Educators could find it entertaining and informative as a supplement in courses such as American History, Ethnic Studies, Social Studies, and African and African American Studies. ungekürzt.

    The Tarzan Duology of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan of the Apes and The Return of Tarzan: A Pulp-Lit Annotated Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 980min
    In the wild, unexplored coastal jungles of West Africa lives a wild human boy named Tarzan, the adopted son of a tribe of fierce almost-human anthropoid apes - but in reality, the unknown heir of a wealthy and titled English noble family. Then one day, a small party of American treasure-seekers is marooned on Tarzan's beach, including a lovely Baltimore belle named Jane Porter. When she leaves, Tarzan quits his jungle life and learns the ways of civilized man, so that he can follow her. But after he arrives, he finds he must choose between his noble birthright and her future happiness.... The two books in this duology were the world's introduction to Tarzan - possibly the most widely recognized character in fiction. Over the century, since he was introduced to us, he has starred in hundreds of books, comics, and films, and thousands of derivative bits of pop culture such as bubblegum cards and lunch pails. Only Bram Stoker's Dracula has starred in more movies. Yet the Tarzan most people think they know is far different from the original Tarzan - the Tarzan you'll meet in this audiobook. The Tarzan most of us know is a crude, powerful, primitive man who speaks in monosyllables ('Me Tarzan. You Jane. Where boy?') . The original Tarzan was altogether different - fluent in at least four languages (Ape, French, English, and Arabic, in that order) and equally comfortable in the smoking room of a great ocean liner as he was in the savage jungle. This pulp-lit annotated edition of Burroughs' first two Tarzan books tells the story of the ape-man's origins, from his childhood adventures to his triumphant arrival as Lord Greystoke. ungekürzt.
