Pam Ayres, one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, personally presents this audiobook which brings together two of her solo stage shows with live audiences. Pam introduces each recording and then, as a bonus, reads a collection of new and previously unrecorded poems from her two most recent books, You Made Me Late Again and Up In The Attic. With poems such as 'My Mother Was Right About You', 'Geriatric Juliet', 'Poor Old Father Christmas', and 'The Hat From Hell', this hilariously funny collection is a must-have for seasoned fans and first time listeners alike.

From the start, Lydia hates the house: the disturbing paintings in the attic, the hostility of the locals, the peculiar light that pours through the kitchen window. Kyle thinks Lydia needs a break from London, from the nightmares and the panic attacks. But over the coming weeks, Lydia's sense of dread only becomes more insistent, whilst Kyle is drawn to the house in ways he cannot explain.

La lectura obsesiva de novelas de caballerías convence a Alonso Quijano, un apacible hidalgo, de que él mismo es un caballero andante y lo impulsa a salir de su casa, listo para protagonizar grandes aventuras en pos del amor de Dulcinea del Toboso con el nombre de Don Quijote de la Mancha. A este loco entrañable que recorre la dura tierra de Castilla de principios del siglo XVII en busca de hazañas lo acompaña Sancha Panza, un rústico aldeano que acepta a regañadientes ser su escudero.

En 1976, mon père a rouvert la maison qu’il avait reçue de sa mère, restée fermée pendant vingt ans. À l’intérieur : un piano, une commode au marbre ébréché, une Légion d’honneur, des photographies sur lesquelles un visage a été découpé aux ciseaux. Une maison peuplée de récits, où se croisent deux guerres mondiales, la vie rurale de la première moitié du vingtième siècle, mais aussi Marguerite, ma grand-mère, sa mère Marie-Ernestine, la mère de celle-ci, et tous les hommes qui ont gravité autour d’elles.

Kate and Scott’s marriage has always been a lot of fun, with alcohol at the heart of it. After all, what’s more entertaining than a good laugh and a large drink…or six? But recently, those relaxing drinks have become more crutch than comfort - and the couple have almost forgotten how to talk to each other sober. Then their teenage daughter Holly uploads a video of their humiliating drunken escapades, which gets picked up by YouTube superstar PinkyPud - and goes horrifyingly viral.

When Laura books a spontaneous trip to Greece, Becky decides to join her, determined to get closer to her mother - and to the truth. But as they make their way to the island of Santorini, it becomes clear that this holiday is not as impulsive as Becky thought. Laura’s hiding something from her daughter - and she’s been hiding it for Becky’s whole life.

When Dick Young's friend, Professor Magnus Lane offers him an escape from his troubles in the form of a new drug, Dick finds himself transported to fourteenth-century Cornwall. There, in the manor of Tywardreath, the domain of Sir Henry Champerhoune, he witnesses intrigue, adultery and murder.

With each dose of the drug, his body and mind become addicted to this otherworld and his attempts to change history bring terror to the present and put his own life in jeopardy.
