  • The Merry Devil of Edmonton by William Shakespeare ~ Full Audiobook

    The Merry Devil of Edmonton by William Shakespeare ~ Full Audiobook
    Apr 29 2025
    The Merry Devil of Edmonton by William Shakespeare audiobook. Picture yourself transported to early 17th‑century London as you press “play” and the first strains of an old lute tune give way to a burst of rollicking dialogue: this is The Merry Devil of Edmonton, a razor‑sharp comedy of cons, disguises and devilish hilarity that will sweep you off your feet. At its heart is a swaggering rogue known only as the “Merry Devil,” whose flair for sleight of hand and outrageous impudence sets every scene crackling with mischief. He duels with a foppish knight who thinks chivalry is just gilded hypocrisy, outwits a bumbling magistrate desperate to prove his power, and twists every scheme into a carnival of mistaken identities and gleeful reversals. Meanwhile, love‑struck fools chase dreams of elopement, servants hatch plots against their masters, and the air buzzes with bawdy puns that only Shakespeare’s ear for language could deliver so brilliantly. In the rich timbre of an expert narrator’s voice, each character springs to life—one moment sly and sinister, the next uproariously absurd—while subtle soundscapes and period music evoke smoky taverns, echoing castle halls and moonlit lanes. You’ll feel every whispered secret, every tap of a rapier, and every gasp of astonishment as the Merry Devil’s antics turn conventions upside down and leave you shaking with laughter. If you crave audacious humor, clever wordplay and that unmistakable electricity of Elizabethan theater, this audiobook offers the perfect ticket to an uproarious world where nothing is as it seems—and every twist is delivered with theatrical flair you simply have to hear to believe.

    Loves Labours Lost by William Shakespeare ~ Full Audiobook
    Apr 29 2025
    Loves Labours Lost by William Shakespeare audiobook. Imagine the thrill of being swept into a sun-drenched court where four earnest noblemen swear off love just as three spirited ladies arrive to turn their resolve inside out—now picture every witty riposte, every swoon of unspoken desire, every flourish of Shakespeare’s glittering language brought vividly to life by a cast of voices so rich and textured that the banter crackles in your ears like a live performance. In this audiobook of Love’s Labour’s Lost, you’ll hear the enchanting poetry of iambic pentameter breathe and dance as the lords and ladies trade rapid-fire epigrams, stumble into comic disguises, and wrestle with the very words they’ve vowed to master—only to find that love is the greatest lesson of all. Let the melodic cadences wash over you on your morning commute, as you laugh at the bumbling attempts at wooing, empathize with the sudden pangs of longing under every moonlit sonnet, and relish the clever turns of phrase that have charmed audiences for centuries. Whether you’re a devoted Shakespeare aficionado or new to his brilliance, the performance draws you in, making every pun and paradox feel fresh, urgent, and utterly irresistible. Settle back, press play, and allow the magic of this timeless comedy to transport you to a world where language is both playground and battlefield—and where the only labor you’ll regret is missing a single moment of its sparkling wit.

  • The London Prodigal by William Shakespeare ~ Full Audiobook

    The London Prodigal by William Shakespeare ~ Full Audiobook
    Apr 28 2025
    The London Prodigal by William Shakespeare audiobook. Step into the riotous, shadowy streets of Jacobean London with The London Prodigal, a long-lost gem of Shakespearean drama now brought thrillingly to life in audiobook form—where every whispered intrigue, every thunderous accusation, and every heartfelt plea leaps from the page through expert narration and immersive soundscapes. Here you’ll meet young Frank Golding, heir to a fortune that flatters him into folly, squandering his inheritance in a swirl of tavern songs, reckless bets, and the seductive promises of city life—while his patient father, old Golding, and his ever-watchful mother, Mistress Golding, navigate the heartbreaking tension between familial duty and unforgiving pride. What follows is a delicious dance of disguises and deceptions: scheming servants, bold conspirators, repentant prodigals, and a host of colorful citizens collide in a world where honor is currency and redemption costs a steep price. As the narrator’s rich timbre weaves in the play’s stirring verse, you’ll feel the bawdy laughter echo off alley walls, the hush of moral reckonings, and the electric thrill of a society on the brink of transformation. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of the Bard or discovering this lesser‑known masterpiece for the first time, the audiobook’s dynamic performances elevate every snide joke, every tender apology, and every crescendo of forgiveness—inviting you not merely to listen, but to step into the heart of early modern London and witness a story of folly and forgiveness so vivid it feels as immediate as today’s headlines. Don your headphones, surrender to the cadence of Shakespeare’s language, and prepare to be swept away by an unforgettable journey from excess to atonement that only this masterful audio production can deliver.

Thousands of Hours of Listening.....or Not

I've now listened to several of these 800+ (and growing) episodes/books, and sampled many more. They are read well, for the most part, and cover a broad range of topics, authors and time periods. There are both fiction and non-fiction, children's, YA and adult titles. I assume all are in the public domain, whether by lapsed or expired copyright. A number of the series' titles are otherwise unavailable for free through Audible, but the edition for sale on Audible will likely be a better reading or translation. I haven't checked, but some of the more obsure titles are likely not available at all. Some have attributions to Librivox, but a variety of sources seem to be drawn from. The biggest drawback, due to the podcast/episode structure of the collection, is that you can't search by title or author, only by upload date. You must load page after page until you find (or don't find) a title or author you're hoping is in the collection. But what do you want for FREE? There are both diamonds and lumps of coal in this mine. You just have to keep digging until you find your diamonds.
