AUDIOBOOK: The Corpse's Tale
Dai Morgan has the body of a man and the mind of a child. He lived with
his mother in the Mid Wales village of Llan, next door to bright,
beautiful 19 year old Anna Harris.
The vicar found Anna's naked, battered body in the churchyard one
morning. The police discovered Anna's bloodstained earring in Dai's
pocket. The judge gave Dai life.
After ten years in gaol Dai appealed against his sentence and was
freed. Sergeants Trevor Joseph and Peter Collins are sent to Llan to
reopen the case. But the villagers refuse to believe Dai innocent.
The Llan police do not make mistakes or allow murderers to walk free.
Do they?

In Classical Mythology: The Greeks, widely published Professor Peter Meineck examines in thrilling detail the far-reaching influence of Greek myths on Western thought and literature.

Through the study of these time-honored myths, the Greek heroes and gods—including Heracles, Zeus, Achilles, Athena, Aphrodite, and others—leap from the page in all their glorious splendor. The following lectures are not only an entertaining guide to Greek mythology, but a fascinating look into the culture and time that produced these eternal tales.
