The first chapter of a book is often the hook to draw a reader in. It could make you eager for more or realize it isn't for you. In this, the 8th First Chapter Collection, we offer you old favorites, such as Pride and Prejudice and The Call of the Wild. We tour the world, with Mexico and The Natural History of Selbourne, contemplate philosophy with Knowing and Being and relax with a Dissertation on Oriental Gardening with a side of Cakes and Cookies.

Read by English by Stacy Dugan-Wilcox; BettyB; Colleen McMahon; Craig Campbell; KevinS; Peter Yearsley; Piotr Nater; Soeun (Kelly) Park . Total running time: 3:10:52
