The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Stories by Edgar Allan Poe

This story has many underlying meanings to it; however, the most prominent symbolisms to focus on are guilt and insanity. There is ambiguity in Poe’s intended meaning of the story, sparking arguments from many readers such as, whether the man was insane before or after the killing if the man could hear the heart beating, and what the eye truly represents.

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

The book is about power and greed, innocence and enlightenment. Ultimately, it describes a battle of good against evil, of kindness and trust against suspicion, and of fellowship against the desire for individual power. This is also a story about war, no doubt drawn from Tolkien’s own experience in World War I. The enduring fascination of the mythology of Middle-earth can be seen in the success.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (1818 edition, narrated by Ralph Cosham)

Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It is a classic collection of twelve short stories featuring the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend and biographer, Dr. John Watson. The stories are presented as dramatizations, each featuring a unique and complex mystery that must be solved by the brilliant mind of Sherlock Holmes. From the scandalous scandal of "A Scandal in Bohemia" to the bizarre tale of "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb," these stories have captivated readers for over a century.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (narrated by Edoardo Ballerini)

In early nineteenth-century Russia, the threat of Napoleon’s invasion looms, and the lives of millions are about to be changed forever. This includes Pierre Bezúkhov, illegitimate son of an aristocrat; Andrew Bolkónski, ambitious military scion and Natasha Rostova, compassionate daughter of a nobleman. All of them are unprepared for what lies ahead.

Importance of Audiobooks

Like many kids who had the privilege of being around books all the time, I was a bookworm before I could actually read. My most impactful early literacy experiences were not interactions with printed text, but listening to verbal narratives in the form of bedtime stories, library read-alouds, and radio dramas. Whether it was with my family, with my class, or on my own, these aural experiences with words and stories.
