Brothers of Peril - A Story of old Newfoundland

Theodore Goodridge Roberts

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

Set against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, Theodore Goodridge Roberts' "Brothers of Peril" is a masterfully woven narrative that explores the profound depths of brotherhood, survival, and moral choices in the face of adversity. Roberts employs a richly descriptive literary style, evocatively bringing to life the characters' internal struggles and the often-harrowing external challenges they encounter. The book fits within the early 20th-century tradition of adventure literature, yet it distinguishes itself with nuanced character development and ethical dilemmas that resonate with modern sensibilities. Theodore Goodridge Roberts was not only a novelist but also a poet, and his deep appreciation for nature and human experience is evident in every page of "Brothers of Peril." Born and raised in the diverse landscapes of Canada, his own experiences with the wilderness inform the authenticity and vivid imagery that permeate the story. Roberts was a passionate advocate for ecological consciousness, which arises in the conflicts between man and nature throughout his work, positioning him as a significant voice in Canadian literature. I highly recommend "Brothers of Peril" to readers who seek a compelling blend of adventure and introspection. Its engaging narrative and ethical quandaries invite reflection on the bonds that unite us, making it an enriching read for anyone interested in literature that transcends mere escapism.

Pendle Witches The - England...

Christopher Allen

The Pendle Witches England 1600's
Book 5 of 7 Alice Nutter The Silent Lady of Roughlee
The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows:
Alice Nutter, the dignified Catholic widow of Roughlee Hall, became an unlikely victim of the 1612 Pendle witch trials. Unlike her impoverished co-accused, Alice was a wealthy landowner targeted for her discreet charity and suspected recusant faith. Falsely implicated by child witness Jennet Device, she refused to defend herself at trial to protect vulnerable tenants who could alibi her. Offered spectral escape in prison, Alice chose martyrdom over flight, declaring: "I will not run." On August 20, 1612, she was hanged without speaking a word in self-defense, her silence preserving both her honor and others' safety. Today, her statue in Roughlee memorializes this tragic injustice—a gentlewoman sacrificed to superstition and political vendettas. Local legend claims her ghost still walks Pendle Hill, a silent witness to history's cruelty.
This is the fifth book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoy ,(might not be the appropriate word, this instalment, and it's only $3 dollars.
the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!
The story itself runs to about 35 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.
Please let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!.
