Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

A country girl named Polly is visiting city friends and comes to realize that this world is quite different than which she has left. Here people are judged according to their dress and manner of speech rather than for their honesty and hard work. Yet all who meet Polly cannot help but be enamored of her; her sweet simplicity is unlike any that they have ever seen, and soon everyone comes to realize that Polly is not someone to be laughed at and ridiculed, but someone to put upon a pedestal for failing to become willing prey to the cynicism of the times.

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby is closely modelled on the 18h-century novels that Charles Dickens loved as a child, such as Robinson Crusoe, in which the fortunes of a hero shape the plot. The likeable young Nicholas, left penniless on the death of his father, sets off in search of better prospects.

It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the free-thinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman’s work."

Lovely Story with Excellent narration
But by today’s standards parts of the father-daughter relationship felt borderline creepy, almost incestuous

Interesting story line kept me listening
The story line is great, but the overall tone is a bit simpering. Made sense when I learned that it was written in the 1800s

A Continuing Great Story
The Story of Elsie continues in it suspense and trials... Elsie's continued love and obedience to her father make these books great for character development in younger readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the references to God and the acting out of their faith.
I wish Audible had the other stories of Elsie on audio...

Great Story
I do so love listening to these such stories. Although I do not see it as practical. The live between father and daughter I do not see as realistic but would love to see it in the world today. The love of God is very real and stories like these lift the heart. It is a great series for all ages
