In this important book, G.K. Chesterton offers a remarkably perceptive analysis of social and moral issues, even more relevant today than in his own time. With a light, humorous tone but a deadly serious philosophy, he comments on errors in education, on feminism vs. true womanhood, on the importance of the child, and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters’ assaults on the common man and the family.

John Doolittle is a kind-hearted country physician who keeps goldfish in his pond, rabbits in the pantry, white mice in a piano, and a hedgehog in the cellar. He also has an unusual gift: he can talk to animals - a talent that comes in handy, since he prefers treating animals, rather than humans, as his patients. One day, a mysterious call summons him to Africa, where a serious epidemic has spread among the monkey population. Of course, the good doctor sets out immediately with some of his best friends - Jip, the dog, and Polynesia, the parrot, among others.

Publisher's Summary
Set in Medieval England, The Legends of King Arthur and his Knights by Sir James Knowles takes the listener on one adventure after another filled with magic and danger. When King Vortigern, the unrightful king of England plans to kill Merlin, Merlin tells the prophecy of his downfall and also predicts the birth of a new and powerful king, Arthur Pendragon. Merlin's prediction comes true, and Arthur is born and raised in secret by Merlin. At the same time, Arthur's father, the king of England, is poisoned by his enemies, and his last words proclaim that his son Arthur shall be the new king.
The young Arthur must prove himself by removing a sword from a stone that even the strongest men could not make budge. Once Arthur has removed the sword, he is crowned the new king of England and is worshipped by his followers. In order to protect his new realm, Arthur forms the Knights of the Round Table and pursues his enemies. With Merlin as his constant magical advisor, King Arthur and his knights go on several magical adventures for the greater good and protection of the land. This story is a must-hear for listeners seeking a classic tale that explores the legend of Arthur Pendragon.
