Imagine the kingdom of Asia sifted through the Celtic imagination. Messer Marco Polo is the fictionalized account of the travels of Marco Polo, as told by Malichi Campbell, an Irishman. Young Marco Polo meets Kubla Khan, the King of Siam, and Saint Paul, and he falls in love with Khan's beautiful daughter, Golden Bells. After her magicians save him from death in the desert, he stays and marries her. Following her death, Polo returns to Venice as an old man. Audiobook producer Stefan Rudnicki and acting legend Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., were reminiscing one day about favorite childhood books when they both recalled Messer Marco Polo as one of the best. The result is this collaborative effort - a truly charming audiobook.

When Alice sees the White Rabbit run by, it occurs to her that she's never seen a rabbit with a watch before. Burning with curiosity, she jumps up and follows him into a rabbit-hole. Then she falls down a long, long way... Down into the world of the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mock Turtle. Down into Wonderland, where an ordinary little girl can have the most extraordinary adventures. Lewis Carroll's classic tale has been translated into more languages than almost any book, and remains a perennial favourite worldwide. With David Bamber as the splendid White Rabbit, Roy Hudd as the Mad Hatter, and Sarah-Jane Holm as Alice, the spellinding and fantastic story sparkles with nonsensical life in this full-cast dramatisation.
