Seven Blind Mice
"It's a pillar," says one. "It's a fan," says another. One by one, the seven blind mice investigate the strange Something by the pond. And one by one, they come back with a different theory. It's only when the seventh mouse goes out-and explores the whole Something-that the mice see the whole truth. Based on a classic Indian tale, Ed Young's beautifully rendered version is a treasure to enjoy again and again.

If you're a fantasy fan who hasn't yet explored the Farseer world, this is a fine place to start: Hobb deftly provides new readers with all the needed information. The finely detailed world building and intensive character development rarely slow down the action of the story. Fool's Errand is a complex, beautifully written and sometimes heart-rending examination of the consequences of duty and love.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome MP3by Jerome K. Jerome
"...Three young Victorian gentlemen imagine they are unwell and need a holiday. They decide to hire a boat for a week or two on the Thames. Bad weather, incompetence at cooking and camping, misunderstandings and a grumpy dog eventually dent their enthusiasm for the whole thing. This comic classic is beautifully written and along with the laughter the listener imbibes a wonderfully atmospheric account of English history...."
