Autobiography of a Thief, The by Hutchins Hapgood (1869 - 1944) Lina I met the ex-pickpocket and burglar whose autobiography follows soon after his release from a third term in the penitentiary. For several weeks I was not particularly interested in him. He was full of a desire to publish in the newspapers an exposé of conditions obtaining in two of our state institutions, his motive seeming partly revenge and partly a very genuine feeling that he had come in contact with a systematic crime against humanity. But as I continued to see more of him, and learned much about his life, my interest grew; for I soon perceived that he not only had led a typical thief's life, but was also a man of more than common natural intelligence, with a gift of vigorous expression... I therefore proposed to him to write an autobiography. He took up the idea with eagerness, and through the entire period of our work together, has shown an unwavering interest in the book and very decided acumen and common sense. The method employed in composing the volume was that, practically, The Autobiography of a Slander Edna Lyall The Autobiography of a Slander exposes the consequences of reckless words or, even worse, intentionally disparaging words. In this moral tale, told from the point of view of "the slander", Edna Lyall (pseudonym used by Ada Ellen Bayley) reveals her ideals and goals in life and relationships. (Summary by Rhonda Federman) The Autobiography of a Clown Isaac Marcosson This vintage-inspired audiobook cover concept portrays a somber clown in a faded circus environment. The scene captures a solitary figure seated on a wooden crate beneath a dim spotlight, with subtle signs of past performance visible in worn posters and an empty tent in the background. The clown’s makeup is smudged, and he holds a weathered journal, evoking nostalgia and melancholy. Elegant handwritten typography presents the title "The Autobiography of a Clown." This evocative design inspires deep reflection. Summary by Lina  Billy Whiskers, The Autobiography of a Goat (Version 2) by Frances Trego Montgomery (1858 - 1925) LibriVox This is the original story in the beloved series of Billy Whisker books by Frances Trego Montgomery. Billy is a loveable goat whose adventures always entertain. Of course, adventure for Billy usually means trouble. Whether Billy is in the country where someone ends up in the duck pond, or in the city where he joins the fire brigade, mischief is his middle name. But he meets Nanny and them finds his way to the circus where we have a day-by-day account of his adventures there. - Summary by Larry Wilson
