Instead we get 2 bonus books to select from for next January.

True. Though I rather think I'll start reading the Forsyte Saga regardless.

Queen Lucia by E.F. Benson wasn't one of the books I ended up voting for, but it does look as if it has possibilities. Happy reading, everyone.

I have downloaded Queen Lucia and found some errors. One of the errors causes the CSS to be ignored with ADE. I am currently working on fixing it up. I shall have it done either today or tomorrow. The link below is the link to the version I am working on. I'm also going to see if I can find a larger version of the cover.

Here is the fixed-up (some errors in the text corrected) version (ePub & KF8) of Queen Lucia. I fixed the error that cause the CSS to not work in ADE and some major format fixing.

For those interested in the audiobook version, the one read by Nadia May is very good. She does a very good job reading the book. The version i am listening to uis from Blackstone Audio. I got it from Hoopla.

I had a look at Overdrive fir the audiobook and I found it, but it gives a different narrator name even though it is the same as the Hoopla version.

Thanks, Jon. If I was home, I'd do a conversation of your work to a Kindle format, but perhaps one of our other members will do it. If not, I'll be home for the weekend and will do it then. :)

Wanda McCaddon is Nadia May's real name. Frequently you'll find she's recorded a book under both - or her third name, Donada Peters.

Harry has also uploaded a Lucia Omnibus. Just as an FYI, four of the six titles are not PD in the US.

I've added a KF8 (.azw3) version to post #20 for Kindle users.

Thanks for that info.

What I don't get is that the audiobook is from the same publisher yet Hoopla and Overdrive list her name differently. Makes no sense to me.

For those that do not know, Wanda reads this very well.

Yes, she does! Which is why I put a link to the Audible version of it in my earlier post in this thread. It's even WhisperSync for a trivial amount. :)

Actually, FWIW, Wanda McCaddon, in all of her names, is one of my absolute favourite readers. One of my very first Books on Tape narrations, long before I got Audible, was the Donada Peters reading of West with the Night. None of the currently available narrations of it come even close. (And yes, I have the tape. Nothing to play it on any more, but I have the tape. )

Thanks again, Jon. Karma coming your way.

Your Welcome.

I've posted new versions as I put back in the section breaks. See message #20.

After I finish listening/reading, I'll be posting new versions. Question, should I post in the thread for the ePub version or start a new thread?

HarryT used to have a Mapp and Lucia omnibus in the library. Did it get removed when the servers moved from Canada?
