Betsy hopes that whoever moves into the house across the street will have a little girl just her age. And the little girl who moves in is just her age. Her name is Tacy. She is very bashful, but she likes to listen to Betsy's stories, wonderful stories that the girls love, and that they keep as their own special secret. After a while, it's hard to remember a time when Betsy and Tacy weren't best friends.

Guitar-Leas Zeitreisen - Teil 8: Lea trifft Alexander den Großen
Im Atlas stolpert Lea nicht nur über das kleine Land Makedonien, unverhofft stolpert sie auch mehr als 2300 Jahre in die Vergangenheit und damit über den jungen makedonischen König Alexander den Großen. Und der hat eine großartige Idee: ganz Asien und Europa in einem einzigen riesigen demokratischen Staat zu vereinen. Zuerst jedoch müssen Alexander und Lea ein wildes Pferd zähmen, sich von einem Tonnen-Philosophen aus der Sonne scheuchen lassen, ein widerspenstiges Orakel befragen, einen komplizierten Knoten lösen und sich mit Kampfelefanten herumschlagen. Wird es Alexander gelingen, seine Vision vom großen friedlichen Multi-Kulti-Weltreich zu verwirklichen? Ein Kinderhörspiel zwischen Sciencefiction und echter Geschichte - spannend, witzig und irre abgefahren.

Guitar-Leas Zeitreisen - Teil 9: Lea trifft Galileo Galilei
Lea ist schrecklich aufgeregt: Zum allerersten Mal darf sie mit einem Flugzeug in den Urlaub fliegen! Ganz weit! Sogar in eine andere Zeitzone, sagt ihr großer Bruder Joe. Das hat mit der Sonne zu tun. Und mit der Erde, die sich nicht nur um die Sonne, sondern auch um sich selbst dreht. Das allein findet Lea verwirrend genug. Doch dann kommt zu dieser Zeitzonenreise auch noch eine Zeitreise dazu und im Handumdrehen trifft Lea auf Galileo Galilei, den ersten Astrophysiker der Welt! Gemeinsam verdrehen sich Lea und Galileo die Hälse, um in den Sternenhimmel zu starren. Werden die beiden den Dreh mit der Erddrehung rauskriegen? Auf jeden Fall erlebt Lea mit Galileo eine Menge sehr - nun ja... abgedrehter Abenteuer! Ein Kinderhörspiel zwischen Sciencefiction und echter Geschichte - spannend, witzig und irre abgefahren.

In the village of Cranford, decorum is maintained at all times. Despite their poverty, the ladies are never vulgar about money (or their lack of it), and always follow the rules of propriety. But this discretion and gentility does not keep away tragedy; and when the worst happens, the Amazons of Cranford show the true strength of their honest affections. A masterpiece of social comedy, Cranford is as moving as it is funny, and as sharp as it is tender.
Elizabeth Gaskell (Author), Clare Wille (Narrator)

Who Was First?: Discovering the Americas
Historians still agree about the date of Columbus's voyage. But did this European adventurer discover America? We now know that certain explorers from other parts of the globe set foot on American shores long before 1492–and that others may have done so. And "discovery" takes on a different meaning when the new land already has people living in it. As artifacts are unearthed and analyzed, the story of human presence in the Americas continues to unfold. Looking deeper and deeper into the past, acclaimed nonfiction writer Russell Freedman tells this evolving story, touching on such evidence as Viking runes, Chinese legends, Mayan stonework, and mysterious objects found in New England. Thoroughly researched and impeccably documented, Who Was First? is a compelling account of many discoverers of the Americas.

Una Aventura Llamada America: El Descubrimiento
Una de las fechas más significativas durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos fue la del 12 de Octubre de 1492: el día en que Cristóbal Colón descubrió América. El hecho de que Cristóbal Colón (que no era Español de origen) acudiera a una corte extranjera para ofrecer sus servicios prueba que el descubrimiento de América no fue en modo alguno accidental. Portugal y Castilla (España) estaban muy avanzados en la exploración de rutas mercantiles marítimas y Sevilla, una rica y populosa ciudad Española era por entonces un importante centro comercial. One of the most significant dates during the reign of the Catholic kings was that of October 12th 1492: the day that Christopher Columbus discovered America. The fact that Christopher Columbus (who was not of Spanish origin) had come to a foreign court to offer his services proves that the discovery of America was not at all an accident. Portugal and Castile (Spain) were very advanced in the exploration of maritime mercantile routes, and Seville, a rich and populous Spanish city, was by then an important commercial center. Note: This is audiobook is in Spanish.

When Pollyanna Whittier becomes orphaned, she goes to live with her rather strict Aunt Polly. And Aunt Polly is not at all prepared for Pollyanna! With her infectious energy and her determination to see the best in every situation, Pollyanna brings sunshine into the lives of everyone around her. But not everyone wants it - and she has a lot of work to do to persuade some of them that there is a good side to everything. But will being glad be enough for Pollyanna herself when she faces the biggest struggle of her life? This irrepressible book, first published in 1913, has entertained and absorbed each generation of girls since, and was the subject of a famous 1960 film with Hayley Mills in the title role. But it was also done as a silent film in 1920 starring Mary Pickford, and a TV film in 2003 - further evidence of its continuing popularity.
