Ada Cambridge (November 21, 1844 - July 19, 1926), later known as Ada Cross, was an English born Australian writer. While she gained recognition as Australia’s first woman poet of note, her longer term reputation rests on her novels. Overall she wrote more than twenty-five works of fiction, three volumes of poetry and two autobiographical works.[1] Many of her novels were serialised in Australian newspapers, and were never published in book form. The story pans over three - four decades revolving the four Pennycuick sisters.

Librivox: God's Country—And the Woman by Curwood, James OliverJoin Now to Follow
James Curwood wrote many adventures of the far north. By 1909 he had saved enough money to travel to the Canadian northwest, a trip that provided the inspiration for his wilderness adventure stories. The success of his novels afforded him the opportunity to return to the Yukon and Alaska for several months each year that allowed him to write more than thirty such books. The Canadian North is often referred to as "God's Country"

Librivox: Fables de La Fontaine, livre 08 by La Fontaine, Jean deJoin Now to Follow
Le Livre huitième des Fables de La Fontaine est le plus volumineux des douze livres qui composent l'oeuvre fabuliste du célèbre écrivain. Celui-ci délaisse d'avantage les animaux dans ce livre, pour mettre en scène l'homme lui-même dans 15 des 27 fables de ce livre. De La Fontaine nous Interpelle: ses fables deviennent plus longues et affichent un écriture plus sophistiquée que dans les livres précédents. Écoutez combien, sous la plume du fabuliste, l'homme est cette bête si curieuse et fascinante. (Jean LAMBERT)

Librivox: Bible (WEB) NT 02: Mark by World English BibleJoin Now to Follow
Mark's Gospel is certainly the shortest, and possibly the earliest of the four canonical gospels. It covers Jesus' life from his Baptism to his Resurrection, but concentrates particularly on the week leading up to the Crucifixon. It appears to have been written for a general audience, and its relative simplicity makes it perhaps the most accessible of the four Gospels for a first time reader. (Paragraph by Justin)
