(Summary by Maria Therese) Montgomery's Trouble in the Underworld Phin Hall on Podiobooks.com Thirteen-year-old Montgomery does not believe in magic. But then, he'd have said people don't live hundreds of metres below London, yet here they are! And in the Underworld city of Lundarien they have eight kinds of magic - the 'Magic Circles'. Here Montgomery meets Jarfin and others, who show him around the vast city caverns and even take him hunting in the Hanging Forest, and he soon feels more at home in the Underworld than back in his apartment on the Surface. But all is not well in Lundarien, what with the kidnappings, the stampeding monsters and the dark forces lurking in the Labyrinth, and Montgomery finds himself drawn into defending the city and his new friends against an evil tyrant, while unearthing his own magical heritage. Early Spring by Fay Inchfawn (1880 - 1978) LibriVox The Vernal Equinox signals the time when the winter’s cold mantle begins to succumb to the warming influences of the oncoming spring. Fay Inchfawn (nee Elizabeth Rebecca Ward) took the springtime of 1920 as her inspiration for the bright promise of beauty and new life described in Early Spring. LibriVox volunteers bring you eight different readings of this magical work to celebrate the Vernal Equinox. This was the weekly poetry project for the week of March 19, 2006.(Summary by Chip)
