No Thoroughfare by Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) and Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889) LibriVox Two boys from the Foundling Hospital are given the same name, with disastrous consequences in adulthood. Two associates, wishing to right the wrong, are commissioned to find a missing heir. Their quest takes them from fungous wine cellars in the City of London to the sunshine of the Mediterranean—across the Alps in winter. Danger and treachery would prevail were it not for the courage of the heroine and the faithful company servant. The story contains crafted descriptions, well-drawn and diverse characters, eerie and exotic backgrounds, mystery, semi-concealed identities, brinkmanship with death, romance, the eventual triumph of Good over Evil, and many other elements expected in classic Dickens. First published in 1867 there are thematic parallels with other books from Dickens' mature writings, including Little Dorrit (1857) and especially Our Mutual Friend (1865). The Listener will decide if this story yields insights into The Mystery of Edwin Drood (unfinish No Thoroughfare by Charles Dickens Loyal Books Two boys from the Foundling Hospital are given the same name, with disastrous consequences in adulthood.

Trueblood (1849 - 1918) LibriVox Between these pages you will find only the good, old-fashioned, every-day cat. No Angora or thoroughbred has been entered here, unless it be "Hansie," who is little more than mentioned. These are true incidents and true lives, with the exception of the one chapter, "The Mission of the Cat." The reader will pardon the intrusion of Victor, the dog. I have added him as the cook adds her trace of spice, but feeling also that he is entirely in place, being an ardent cat-lover himself. (Summary by Sarah E. Trueblood) Talking with Terei Tenille Mcghee I am a real thoroughbred. I keep it real no matter how it makes you feel. I’m that unapologetic bad bitch with more than an opinion to offer. You might agree with me but if you don’t, you still listened.
