Samantha, the cat to whom a fortune had been left, was very much the center of the whole story, from the moment when she brought in to Miss Rachel some delicious-looking raw meat, with glistening poison crystals on it, through to the time when she saw murder committed, but remained shining black when the whole tiny room was made a red shambles. As for Miss Rachel herself: there was shock and grief, and a time when the cold fingers of death had almost clutched her. But at only one time was she really desperately afraid. Dolores Hitchens introduces the three characters who make of this book an excellent story packed with suspense, excitement and mystery. - Summary by original book cover More information: librivox.org/the-cat-saw-murder-by-dolores-hitchens LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (librivox.org)

Published in 1917, the volume is dedicated 'To the authors and their printers who have given us the books that we love.'A collection of essays about many different aspects of books, Koopman describes it this way in the preface: 'The following chapters were written during a series of years as one aspect after another of the Book engaged the writer's attention. As they are now brought together, the result is not a systematic treatise, but rather a succession of views of one many-sided subject.'Any booklover will enjoy browsing this wide variety of essays that range from a discussion of the value and privilege of reading, to spelling reform, to aspects of the book as a physical object and a work of art. - Summary by Verla Viera More information: librivox.org/the-booklover-and-his-books-by-henry-lyman-koopman LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (librivox.org)

These called to his mind the line from Shakespeare's King Lear spoken by Edgar in his feigned madness 'Childe Roland to the dark tower came'. The poem, full of surreal imagery, evokes the worlds of the 11th century epic poem 'The Song of Roland' and of the Arthurian Legends with their notion of the 'quest', a journey undertaken by a Knight into unknown hostile territory in search of a mysterious goal. - Summary by Alan Mapstone More information: librivox.org/childe-roland-and-other-poems-by-robert-browning LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (librivox.org)

The marvellous canyons of the Colorado River extend through a country absolutely bare and waterless, and save the tales told by a few hunters or gold-seekers who, pressed by Indians, made the descent of some of them, but little was known regarding this region. It was not until 1869 that a thorough exploration of the canyons was made by a government expedition under the command of Major Powell. This expedition passed through the whole of the canyons, from those high up on the Green River to the point where the Colorado issues out on to the plains. Four years were occupied by the party in making a detailed survey of the course of the main river and its tributaries. These explorations took place some eight or nine years after the date of my story. The country in which the Big Wind River has its source, and the mountain chains contained in it, were almost unknown until, after the completion of the railway to California, the United States government was forced to send an expedition into it to punish the Indians for their raids upon settlers in the plains. For details of the geography and scenery I have relied upon the narrative of Mr. Baillie-Grohman, who paid several visits to the country in 1878 and the following years in quest of sport, and was the first white man to penetrate the recesses of the higher mountains. At that time the Indians had almost entirely deserted the country.

In the presence of the legend of Marie-Louise, the object is the same. For more than a century the Austrian Archduchess has been an object of detestation in France, and of contempt throughout the world. But we must remember that Marie-Louise was a German by birth and race, and that her stay in France was too short to enable her to change her tastes and her sympathies. She always felt herself an exile and a stranger in her adopted country. Except as the consort of Napoleon, Marie-Louise has no historical interest, and it is only in her relations with him that she will be considered. Our theme is the Austrian marriage and its effect on the Russian alliance: these two events determined the fate of Napoleon. - Summary by Celine Major More information: librivox.org/napoleon-and-marie-louise-the-fall-of-the-empire-by-walter-geer LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (librivox.org)

This new field posed a definite threat to the Allies still fighting to wrest Guadalcanal from the enemy. It had to be taken, or at the very least, neutralized.

In response to these potential threats, Operation Toenails, landings in the New Georgia Islands in the Central Solomons with the capture of Munda as the primary objective, were planned, scheduled, and mounted. - Summary by Charles D.

Can we know it? Can we by any possibility scan its secrets? Nor are we alone in propounding questions such as these; for every intelligent person, at some period or other, puts them to himself and neighbor, but, in the majority of cases, vainly. The writer hereof, like the great mass of people, has often propounded these queries, the result being a confirmed and indurated scepticism—which scepticism was, almost ruthlessly, swept away by the extraordinary series of events about to be recorded in these pages. - Summary by P.
