Human Drift-Jack London

from Sunny Side · host A. A. Milne

Dive into The Sunny Side, a delightful compilation of short stories and essays by the talented A. A. Milne. While many know him for his beloved childrens classic, Winnie The Pooh, Milne also had a remarkable literary career for adults, particularly as a contributor and later Assistant Editor of Punch. This collection features his witty columns from Punch, penned between 1912 and 1920, showcasing a charming mix of poems, essays, and stories. With a keen sense of humor that often veers into the satirical, Milnes writings tackle a variety of topics, from the quirks of playwrights to the art of exaggerating ones birdwatching adventures. These pieces, varying in length, ensure theres something to tickle everyones fancy. (Summary by Wikipedia and Phil Chenevert) This episode includes AI-generated content.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Novel: A Hundred Years of Storms hejunke literature The Last Chronicle of Barset By: Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) Monday or Tuesday By: Virginia Woolf The Blithedale Romance By: Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) War is Kind (collection) By: Stephen Crane (1871-1900) The Runaway Skyscraper By: Murray Leinster (1896-1975) Sylvia's Lovers By: Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) Being a Boy By: Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900) Jezebel's Daughter By: Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen By: Rudolf Erich Raspe (1737-1794) The Albert Gate Mystery By: Louis Tracy (1863-1928) Ultima Thule By: Mack Reynolds The Other Side of the Door By: Lucia Chamberlain (1882-1978?)
