Brian Oswald Patrick Donn-Byrne, who lived from 20 November 1889 – 18 June 1928 was an Irish writer. A fair amount of his career was in America, but in his later years, his financial straits forced him and his wife Dorothea to return to Ireland.

The pacing and prose of today’s story really called to me. The gentle stream of consciousness pacing of a man’s mind when his wife has died, and his contemplations really seemed appropriate for this time of year.

Kenneth Grahame is most famous for his superb fantasies, “The Wind in the Willows”, and “The Reluctant Dragon”. Today’s story is in a similar vein, where a woman demands her birthright of village executioner – and performs her duty with profound competency.

I recently finished recording the latest audiobook from Dean Koontz. Now he’s a pretty famous suspense writer, but with his latest book, Going Home in the Dark, it’s actually a comedy. He’s told me that in the past when he’s tried something like this, the publisher’s would push back. They just didn’t get it – that it was supposed to be funny. But Dean heard my audition and thought I’d get where he was going. He thinks I’ve done a “bang-up job” with it. He describes me as someone “who knows funny – and how not to oversell it”.

So, to honor this good news, we have a P.G. Wodehouse story from the short story collection The Man with Two Left Feet.

Irving wrote Rip Van Winkle when he was temporarily residing in Birmingham, England. Though the story is set in New York’s Catskill Mountains, Irving admitted, “at the time I wrote the story, I had never been on the Catskills.”
