There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears.01 - 3 Stories - Mothers02 - Mother Sauvage (La Mere Sauvage) by Guy de Maupassant03 - Hide and Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub04 - A Dreamer by Barbara Baynton
Bush Studies is a collection of six short stories by the enigmatic Australian author, Barbara Baynton (1857–1929). Embedded in Baynton's merciless, rugged vistas, these stories highlight the tragedy, harshness and humour of nineteenth century Australian bush life — particularly from the perspective of the women involved.
Haunting and evocative, the nuanced tones of Lisa Giles brings Baynton's stories back to life, as memories of a past that continues to echo into the present.
Stories include:
A Dreamer
Squeaker's Mate
Scrammy 'And
Billy Skywonkie
Bush Church
The Chosen Vessel
