Doreen: A Verse Novel in the Australian Vernacular , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
Clarence James Dennis (1876-1938) was a journalist and poet and is most famous for his prolific versifying in Australian vernacular. He wrote four verse novels: "The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke" (1915) "The Moods of Ginger Mick" (1916) "Doreen" (1917) "Rose of Spadgers" (1924) The most famous of these is the first, in which Bill, a larrikin (or hoodlum) who operates in the gangland environment of Little Lon (referring to Little Lonsdale Street, in the central business district of Melbourne), meets and falls in love with Doreen. After enduring various tribulations and misunderstandings, the two marry and settle on a farm. In the third verse novel, "Doreen", the subject of the present recording, the focus is on Bill's home environment. Bill, now transformed from a bitter thug to a steady and peaceful family man, bickers with Doreen over household issues, like the chopping of firewood, the raising of their son, young Bill, and medical treatment. Bill finds himself consistently outsmarted by his loyal - but strong-minded - wife and yields with wry grace to her manipulations and ministrations. The poem is divided into four sections: "Washing Day" "Logic and Spotted Dog" "Vi'lits" "Possum" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.

When Mockingbirds Sing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
Billy Coffey has been compared to both Flannery O'Connor and Shirley Jackson. Journey with him to Mattingly, Virginia, and discover what marks the boundary between a miracle from God and the imagination of a child. "An inspirational and atmospheric tale." (Library Journal, starred review of When Mockingbirds Sing) Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. After her family moves to Mattingly, she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town takes notice. Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on - there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man. The town minister is unraveled by the notion that a mere child with no formal training may be hearing from God more clearly than he does. While the town bickers over what to do with this strange child, the content of Leah's paintings grows darker. Still, Leah insists that the Rainbow Man's heart is pure. Then a dramatic and tragic turn of events leaves the town reeling and places everyone's lives in danger. The people of Mattingly face a single choice: Will they cling to what they know - or embrace the things Leah believes in that cannot be seen? "This intriguing read challenges mainstream religious ideas of how God might be revealed to both the devout and the doubtful." (Publishers Weekly)Includes a sneak peek at Coffey's novel The Curse of Crow Hollow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabe Wicks.
