The Kingdom

[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.] [Read by Frederick Davidson] The Kingdom is the story of a country -- a country of astonishing contrasts, where routine computer printouts open with the words ''In the name of God,'' where men who grew up in goat-hair tents now dominate the money markets of the world, and where murderers and adulterers are publicly executed in the street. By its own reckoning, this country is just entering the fifteenth century.  The Kingdom is also the story of a family -- a family that has fought its way from poverty and obscurity into wealth and power the likes of which the world has never known, a family characterized by fierce loyalty among its members, ruthlessness toward its enemies, and dedication to one of the world's most severe and demanding creeds.  The Kingdom is Saudi Arabia -- the only country in the world to bear the name of the family that rules it.

Speaking Effectively

Irwin, J.

Ruben Oliver's life is coming adrift from its moorings. He has been obliged to take early retirement from his job as a librarian due to 'rationalisation' and the new political realities of South Africa. His wife has died. One of his sons has settled in Australia, the other is about to emigrate to Canada while trying to persuade Ruben that it is too dangerous to remain. The only constants are his old family home, haunted by the ghost of a young slave woman; and his housekeeper, Magrieta, with whom he has a shared history that goes back more than half his life. When Tessa Butler comes out of the rain one night in response to an advertisement for a lodger, Ruben is captivated by her. She restores passion to his life, but brings with her a turbulent past.

The Green Man

Maurice Allington is a worldly but haunted publican. His pub is inhabited by the spirit of Dr. Thomas Underhill, the seventeenth-century scholar rumored to have killed his wife. The local sexton had refused to dig Underhill's grave. The rector had declined to officiate at his funeral.
