"Escrita em 1862, fruto da imaginação extraordinária de Lewis Carroll, esta obra transporta o leitor a uma viagem psicodélica e repleta de disparates. Tudo começa quando Alice se depara com um coelho branco que passa por ela correndo, apressado, e decide segui-lo até sua toca. A partir daí, um novo mundo se descortina diante dessa garotinha curiosa, que vai viver fantásticas aventuras repletas de acontecimentos absurdos ao lado de personagens excêntricos como o Chapeleiro Maluco, a Rainha de Copas, a Tartaruga Falsa e o Gato de Cheshire. Uma obra dinâmica, carregada de simbolismos e que, há mais de 150 anos, vem encantando leitores de todas as idades."
"This is the original 1928 story of Hunting for Hidden Gold: The Hardy Boys Book 5. The book has undergone one major revision since its original publication in 1928, resulting in two significantly different stories bearing the same title.
Fenton Hardy requests his sons, Frank and Joe, to help him solve a case of stolen gold in Montana. The gang who stole the gold attempts to thwart their train ride from their home in Bayport on Barmet Bay on the Atlantic coast to Lucky Bottom, Montana. After finally arriving, the boys face more trouble with the gang as well as a mine shaft cave-in, a Rocky Mountain Blizzard, a pack of wolves, and finally Black Pepper, the leader of the gang. On top of all that, the boys needed to discover who was the first thief and who are the rightful owners of the gold. In the end, the boys are declared “Real detectives, both of ‘em.”
Much has changed in America since 1928. The modern listener may be delighted with the warmth and innocence of the characters but uncomfortable with the racial, social, and sexist terms and stereotypes. As such, this book is a part of our heritage, a window into our real past."
"When four orphaned siblings must flee their town in the middle of the night to avoid being split up, a boxcar in the woods becomes their new home.

Acclaimed voice actor Jim Weiss reads Gertrude Chandler Warner's 1924 novel with warmth and humor. Length: 2 hours on 2 CDs."
"A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. G.A. Henty weaves a rousing, yet poignant, adventure of the revolt of Palestine against the power of Rome, and the birth of Christianity. Follow John, a courageous young Jew, as he fights in the siege of Jerusalem, survives slavery in Alexandria and the dispersal of the Jews, wins the favor of the Emperor Titus, and returns triumphantly to Galilee. Based on the eyewitness accounts of Josephus, this is a masterful story of events that changed our world forever. Set in A.D. 70."
"A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. One of G.A. Henty's most stirring adventures tells the story of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce as they battle the brutal seizure of their native Scotland by England's King Edward I (1326-1314). With the Scottish heroes is the courageous young Archie Forbes, whose daring, insightful mind is as sharp as his flashing sword. In Freedom's Cause delivers dramatic portrayals of real Scottish and English leaders in their native countries, and places the listener in the middle of famous medieval battles, sudden swordplay in narrow streets, and dramatic tests of friendship and love."
"A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. G.A. Henty offers the thrilling story of Francis Hammond, the son of an English merchant working in Venice. Francis must overcome threats to the lives and freedom of his Venetian friends and himself, and keep his wits and sword arm strong during sea battles against pirates and opposing navy fleets. With the balance of European power and vast riches at stake, this is a story of adventure and intrigue, dastardly villains and profound tests of loyalty, honor, courage, and intelligence set among the winding canals of Venice and on the surging waves of the Mediterranean Sea. Set in 1380 A.D."
"A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. The struggle between Rome and Carthage was at first a struggle for empire, and then -- on the part of Carthage -- a struggle for existence. G.A. Henty's classic work, The Young Carthaginian, tells the story of this struggle and the attempt of Hannibal to conquer Rome, despite the formidable geographical barriers and the corrupt leadership in Carthage, which time-and-again undermined all his efforts. Malchus, the young hero, a cousin of Hannibal, becomes involved in political intrigue and joins Hannibal in Spain, sharing for a time in his adventures. Later, he suffers imprisonment and slavery and then escapes to Gaul, where he finally settles. This story is set around 220 B.C."
