About this audiobook
This selection of stories and tales is perfect for that cold winter night to cosy up around fireplace and enter magical world of far away lands or kingdoms of the past.
This volume opens with two tales from Beatrix Potter: "The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse" and "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin", followed by "Puss in Boots" by Charles Perrault. And in the second half we have Anton Chekhov's story, "A Gentleman Friend", followed by William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night".
Anton Chekhov
Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, in southern Russia, and in his youth paid for his own education and supported his entire family by writing short, satirical sketches of Russian life. Though he eventually became a physician and once considered medicine his principal career, he continued to gain popularity and praise as a writer for various Russian newspapers, eventually authoring more literary work and ultimately his most well-known plays, including Ivanov, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, and is regarded as one of the best short story writers in history, influencing such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, and Raymond Carver.
