Mary Poppins Audiobook Free

Here is the timeless story of Mary Poppins, the world’s favorite nanny, and her magical adventures with the Banks family.

Mary Poppins Audiobook is like no other nanny the Banks children have ever seen. It all starts when their new nanny is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house, carrying a parrot-headed umbrella and a magic carpetbag. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins.

Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial? A day with Mary Poppins is a day of magic and make-believe come to life!

Movie Edition

The audiobooks were adapted by Walt Disney into a musical film titled Mary Poppins (1964), starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. The film Saving Mr. Banks (2013) depicted the making of the 1964 film. Disney’s sequel to the 1964 film, Mary Poppins Returns, was released in 2018, and stars Emily Blunt as Poppins.

It received a total of 13 Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture – a record for any other film released by Walt Disney Studios – and won five: Best Actress for Andrews, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music Score, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee”.

In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. Mary Poppins is considered Walt Disney’s crowning live-action achievement and is the only one of his films which earned a Best Picture nomination during his lifetime.

Audiobook Review

Originally written in 1934. As a child, I had never read the book Mary Poppins. I knew about the Disney musical based on this book, but after watching the movie Saving Mr. Banks, I had to buy and read this book. It was great! I love Mary Poppins and the many adventures that she has with Michael, Jane, and the twins.

The voice of the narrator is detailed yet cheeky and reads a lot like the character of Mary Poppins herself. The complexity of the family issues (hint: there are more than two kids) is thought-provoking and entertaining. This children’s audiobook is a great curl-up afternoon silent read, or works well as a read-aloud (probably because PL Travers had dramatic experience as well).

I will not spoil anything for anyone. Must read and must buy for young and old alike! You will not be disappointed.

Hearts in Atlantis Audiobook Free Download

Hearts in Atlantis Audiobook is a collection of two novellas and three short stories by Stephen King, all connected to one another by recurring characters and taking place in roughly chronological order.

Five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.

Plot Summary

In Part One, “Low Men in Yellow Coats”, 11-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers, but at the heart of the terror.

In the title story, a group of college students get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest… and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.

In “Blind Willie” and “Why We’re in Vietnam”, two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow – and as haunted – as their own lives.

And in “Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling”, this remarkable book’s denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart’s desire may await him.

Full of danger and suspense, most of all full of heart, Hearts in Atlantis will take some listeners to a place they have never been, and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.

Audiobook Review

This is nowhere near being one of Kings scariest books, but it may possibly be one of the deepest novels he has written.

Interestingly enough, I started out in the first story being entertained in the fantasy of a tale that not only took me back to a time of my childhood but was also connected to King’s Dark Tower series, a series I consider a masterpiece. So yeah, I was having a good time… but by the time I reached the fifth and last story of the book I was angry; angry at war, angry at the man, angry at the government, angry at the system, angry at the atrocities of life and angry at the cruelty of my fellow human beings.

Being a child of the 60’s, having grown up in the Vietnam era, Hearts in Atlantis Audiobook Mp3 really hit home for me. But it wasn’t just because of the war itself. This was a look into the hearts of man (and woman).

Everything’s Eventual Audiobook: 14 Dark Tales Overview

The acclaimed #1 New York Times and undisputed King of Horror Stephen King offers another spine-tingling compilation of short stories sure to keep a listener up late at night.

Stephen King - Everything's Eventual 14 Dark Tales Audiobook
Stephen King – Everything’s Eventual 14 Dark Tales Audiobook

The first collection of stories Stephen King has published since Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Everything’s Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and “Riding the Bullet,” King’s original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade.

“Riding the Bullet” is the story of Alan Parker, who’s hitchhiking to see his dying mother but takes the wrong ride, farther than he ever intended. In “Lunch at the Gotham Café,” a sparring couple’s contentious lunch turns very, very bloody when the maître d’ gets out of sorts. “1408” is about a successful writer whose specialty is “Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Graveyards” or “Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Houses,” and though Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel doesn’t kill him, he won’t be writing about ghosts anymore. And in “That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French,” terror is déjà vu at 16,000 feet.

Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his form in the fourteen dark tales assembled in Everything’s Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

Audiobook Order

In the introduction to the audiobook, King describes the unusual method he used to sort the stories:

“What I did was take all the spades out of a deck of cards plus a joker. Ace to King = 1-13. Joker = 14. I shuffled the cards and dealt them. The order in which they came out of the deck became the order of the stories, based on their position in the list my publisher sent me. And it actually created a very nice balance between the literary stories and the all-out screamers. I also added an explanatory note before or after each story, depending on which seemed the more fitting position. Next collection: selected by Tarot.”

  • “Autopsy Room Four” – 1997
  • “The Man in the Black Suit”- 1994
  • “All That You Love Will Be Carried Away” – 2001
  • “The Death of Jack Hamilton” – 2001
  • “In the Deathroom” – 1999
  • “The Little Sisters of Eluria” – 1998
  • “Everything’s Eventual”  –  1997
  • “L. T.’s Theory of Pets” – 1997
  • “The Road Virus Heads North” –  1999
  • “Lunch at the Gotham Café’-  1995
  • “That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French” –  1998
  • “1408”   – 1999
  • “Riding the Bullet” – 2000

Readers’ Reviews

“I want to make you laugh or cry when you read a story… or do both at the same time. I want your heart, in other words. If you want to learn something, go to school.”

14 dark tales from the Master of Horror. From a serious case of deja-vu 16,000 feet in the air to a moving picture that becomes deadly, King delivers stories brimming with imagination and terror.

Overall, this collection was a winner for me!” – Johann.

“I kept picking this up & reading a tale or two at a time. Each time I did this, I was struck by the way in which King brings a certain quality to his writing that just plain makes him better than most. He brings a certain assumption of the intelligence of his readers and gives us credit for being able to pick up the dark humor, the allusions, and the ironies he weaves. He has a unique ability to construct setting and characters so quickly and seamlessly that we have an instant picture in our mind and an opinion beginning to form. All within the limits of a short story with nothing sacrificed.” – Dave Moore.

Stephen King – Storm of the Century Audiobook

Storm of the Century Audiobook Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King presents an original screenplay and major television event set in Maine’s remote Little Tall Island. Storm of the Century Audiobook, alternatively known as Stephen King’s Storm of the Century, is a 1999 horror audiobook written by Stephen King.

For the first time in Stephen King’s remarkable publishing history, the master storyteller presents an all-new, original tale written expressly for the television screen.

Background

Stephen King started writing Storm of the Century Audiobook as a novel, but it evolved into the teleplay of an ABC TV miniseries. Set in Maine’s remote Little Tall Island, the tale is all about vivid small-town characters, feuds, infidelities, sordid secrets, kids in peril, and gory portents in scrambled letters.

The calamitous snowstorm is nothing compared to the mysterious mind-reading stranger Linoge, who uses magic powers to turn people’s guilt against them – when he’s not simply braining them with his wolf-head-handled cane. Don’t even glance at that cane – it can bring out the devil in you. Just as The Shining was concerned with marriage and alcoholism as much as it was with bad weather and worse spirits, Storm of the Century is more than a horror story. It’s creepy because it’s realistic.

They’re calling it the Storm of the Century, and it’s coming hard. The residents of Little Tall Island have seen their share of nasty Maine Nor’easters, but this one is different. Not only is it packing hurricane-force winds and up to five feet of snow, it’s bringing something worse. Something even the Islanders have never seen before. Something no one wants to see.

Audiobook Review

Storm of the Century is technically a teleplay, but let’s not split hairs. This audiobook was good and certainly packs a wallop but I found the play format to be a distraction and hindrance rather than a boon. Mr. King can surely write about some painful things-I just think this book might have had more punch if it had been presented as a regular novel instead.

This audiobook grabs you right at the beginning and does not let your go until way after you finish. It will keep you thinking about how society really thinks and acts. Great movies. I would read a chapter then watch it on the tube to compare. Almost identical and well done! The characters chosen to play the roles were the best choices.

From the first of Storm of the Century Audiobook Mp3, you are just sitting there trying to take it all in, the killing of an old woman starts it off, and the ending is just…Stephen King!

Faithful Audiobook Free Download

“Faithful isn’t just about the Red Sox. It’s also about family, friendship, and what it truly means to be a baseball fan and to be—well, faithful, come hell or high water” (The Boston Globe).

Background

Faithful Audiobook is a book co-written by Stephen King and Stewart O’Nan. It chronicles exchanges between King and O’Nan about the Red Sox’s 2004 season, beginning with an e-mail in summer 2003, and throughout the 2004 season, from Spring Training to the World Series. They would sit together at Fenway.

They would exchange emails. They would write about the games. And, as it happened, they would witness the greatest comeback ever in sports, and the first Red Sox championship in eighty-six years.

Audiobook Review

On the surface, this is an audiobook for Red Sox fans. I am not a Red Sox fan. I grew up a Phillies fan, and am the son of a Cubs fan, so I don’t need to be preached to about baseball futility. However, the little details of what it means to be a baseball fan are what makes this book so readable. So underneath all the Red Sox rooting, there is a very nice book about being a fan, of a team and the game.

If you don’t have a working knowledge of baseball, let this book slide. The authors don’t try to explain the game, rather they explain what the game means to them. Parent and child moments at the ballpark, desperately tuning AM radio stations to catch a score, and perhaps even turning your cap inside out when it’s really, really, needed.

Those little details help make this book a great addition to any baseball lover’s library. And, if you are a Sox fan, go ahead and revel in a perfect season captured in print.

About the Author

Stewart O’Nan’s award-winning fiction includes Snow Angels, A Prayer for the Dying, Last Night at the Lobster, and Emily, Alone. His most recent novel, The Odds, was hailed by The Boston Globe as “a gorgeous fable, a stunning meditation and a hope-filled Valentine.” Granta named him one of America’s Best Young Novelists. He was born and raised and lives in Pittsburgh.

Stephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. His recent work includes The Institute, Elevation, The Outsider, Sleeping Beauties (cowritten with his son Owen King) and the Bill Hodges trilogy, End of Watch, Finders Keepers, and Mr. Mercedes (an Edgar Award winner for Best Novel and an AT&T Audience Network original television series). His epic works The Dark Tower and It are the basis for major motion pictures, with It now the highest grossing horror film of all time.

Review

Stephen King's It
Stephen King’s It

IT is a fantastic horror audiobook that entices audiences of all ages. The fact that it actually combines two timelines makes it more relatable as well. The descriptions of the town, the story, the characters, and the villain are all so elaborate and detailed that you feel a part of it all. The book is over a 1000 pages long, and the audiobook is almost 45 hours, but that makes it that much more immersive.

Unlike many horror audiobooks, the “heroes” in It by Stephen King have been portrayed like normal human beings with flaws. None of the seven friends is perfect, and that is the way it should be. Everything about the book is petrifying, and one should not expect anything less from the great Stephen King. This book is arguably the one that got him the most fame in the horror genre. Each second of it is a pleasure and an experience to listen to. If you are holding back due to the generation, I assure you that it would be worth the time.

Narrator

The book was narrated by Steven Weber. He is an American actor who has had roles in a lot of movies and short films. His narration of IT was astonishing. The pitch and voice were perfect for every scene, and it felt really smooth. Steven’s voice and style made the already amazing book even greater pleasure to experience.

Author

The author Stephen King is an American author known for his mind-blowing horror and science fiction stories. He is said to be by many as the greatest storyteller of all time. His audiobook IT lives up to all expectations and exceeds them. A lot of his material has received movie adaptations as well.

Stephen King – Throttle audiobook was inspired by the classic book “Dual” written by Richard Matheson.

Like many novellas and books previously written by Stephen King, this too is of the horror and thriller genre.

Audiobook Background

Published by Gauntlet Press in 2009, Throttle audiobook – read by Stephen Lang is a story with a different kind of dual that follows an indistinctive trucker who is put in competition with a gang of motorcycle criminals in the smoldering hot desert of Nevada.

The Author

The novella was also chosen for an adaptation into a comic book published by IDW Publishing and was released in the spring in 2012.

Plot Summary

All about The Last Wish Audiobook Free

The Last Wish Audiobook (Polish: Ostatnie życzenie) is the first (in its fictional chronology; published second in original Polish) of the two collections of short stories (the other being Sword of Destiny) preceding the main Witcher Audiobook Saga, written by Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

The collection contains six short stories interspersed with a continuing frame story; Geralt of Rivia, after having been injured in battle, rests in a temple. During that time he has flashbacks to recent events in his life, each of which forms a story of its own.

Plot Summary

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good… and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

A collection of short stories introducing Geralt of Rivia, to be followed by the first novel in the actual series, The Blood of Elves. Note that, while The Last Wish was published after The Sword of Destiny, the stories contained in The Last Wish Audiobook Free Download take place first chronologically, and many of the individual stories were published before The Sword of Destiny.

Audiobook Review

By: Andrzej Sapkowski
Narrated by: Peter Kenny
Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins

I picked The Last Wish Audiobook Free up because I recently started playing the games. I honestly wish I had done that the other way around now, and gotten into the audiobooks first.

The stories are excellently written, with some nice takes on old fairy tales. I don’t know if it’s because these stories are originally from Eastern Europe, or just skill of the author, or what, but this was the first fantasy novel (or, rather, collection of fantasy short stories) I’ve read in a long time where I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I didn’t know quite where things were going until they got there.

Sapkowski doesn’t stick to the same tropes we westerners are used to, or if he does, he uses them in unexpected ways. His monsters have just as much personality as his protagonists, and often have many of the same motivations.

So, if you’re a fan of good fantasy, I would definitely suggest picking this up, even if you’ve not played the games and don’t plan to. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with what you find in the world of The Witcher. I myself plan to do much more exploration of that world.
