Download Literature's Living Room: At Home with England's Classic Novelists AudioBook Free
Literature's Living Room is the go back invitation in to the homes, architectural and natural, of classic authors whose writings we, as listeners, invite into our very own homes. In such a first publication of the series, we explore houses (now wide open for general public view) and natural surroundings of several novelists who resided throughout Britain: Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters, Lewis Carroll, Agatha Christie, Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, C. S. Lewis, A. A. Milne, William Morris, Beatrix Potter, and Virginia Woolf, among numerous others. The book comes with an extensive glossary that handles, authors, authors' families, other artistic statistics, and royalty. Since surroundings inspired many authors, from Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights and Beatrix Potter in The Story of Peter Rabbit to J. R. R. Tolkien in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Bands, the publication features a character section by horticulturist Robbie Honey, raised in Zimbabwe and today working internationally as a lecturer, a floral creative in the fashion industry (consumer brands Hermès, Dior, Armani, and Vivienne Westwood), and a article writer for such magazines as The Wall Street Journal. The series has been created by business lead writer Mary Lee Costa, a graduate of Oxford University. Affected in her formative years by such stores as PBS, Mary Lee, who battled with understanding how to read, came up to value alternative approaches to education, such as approaching to understand areas of literature and history by touring house museums: the houses where great individuals were created, from Oliver Twist to Alice in Wonderland, from Winnie-the-Pooh to Sydney Carton, from Mr. Darcy to Mrs. Dalloway, and from Jane Eyre to Neglect Jane Marple.
