The Hiding Place Audio Book

i was wondering if there is a free audio book online so i can read with it

if there is a free audio book online it is there illegally - the book is under copyright and not available in any form "free" - apart from borrowing the book from a library who have paid for it (and continue to pay royalties)

Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh Bear and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in book form in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children’s poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.

The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Bestseller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.

Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who were probably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is now on display at the Donnell Library Center Central Children's Room in New York.[1]

Christopher Milne had named his teddy after Winnipeg, a bear which he and his father often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. Winnipeg the Bear was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en-route to England during the First World War. He named the bear "Winnipeg" after his hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "Winnie", as she became known, was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as a regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much loved attraction there. Among her many young fans was Christopher Milne, who named his own teddy bear "Winnie".[2] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young.

In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh": "But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think - but I am not sure - that that is why he is always called Pooh."

The home of the Milnes, Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, was the basis for the setting of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The name of the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" is reminiscent of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which lies just outside Ashdown Forest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place.[3]

The origin of the Poohsticks game is at the footbridge across a tributary of the River Medway near Upper Hartfield, close to the Milne's home at Posingford Farm. It is traditional to play the game there using sticks gathered in nearby woodland. When the footbridge required replacement in recent times the engineer designed a new structure based closely on the drawings (by E H Shepherd) of the bridge in the original books, as the bridge did not originally appear as the artist drew it. There is an information board at the bridge which describes aspects of how to play the game.

Publication

Pooh first appeared in December 1925, when what became the first chapter of the book Winnie-the-Pooh was commissioned as a Christmas story by London's Evening News. The book was published in October 1926 by Methuen, the London publisher of Milne's earlier children's work When We Were Very Young.[4] The illustrator was E.H. Shepard, who had also drawn the pictures for the earlier book.

I know it’s on Amazon and god knows how many other sites, but that is not what I want to know. I just want to know if anyone can identify a story from the audio book Classic Tales of Horror, Crime and Murder. I can’t remember the author or title. I’ve try looking up what I thought was the title “B12” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Didn’t find anything so that's not it. Weird and a little dumb right? I know, but if you can help I would bow at your feet.
The story: It’s told from the view of a man who (I think) is in jail and about to be put to death for a crime he claims he didn’t do. It was murder. He was an ex-con and was trying to get his life back together but no one would hire him. He needed money so he made plans to rob a mansion in the town he lived in. Just this one house and he could buy food and a place to stay till he could find work. So he gets inside the house one night and is in the process of robbing it when the lady of the house finds him. She tells him to take what he wants because it all belongs to her abusive husband. The guy believes her. When he’s about to leave she tells him about a very valuable (thing?) her husband has that he can take. So he goes back for it. That’s when the husband comes down. The robber hides while the wife tries to get him the go back to sleep. Words exchange and she stabs the husband. Seeing this, the robber tells her he needs to go. She gives him the valuable thing and lets him run. Then as he was leavening the grounds she screams “murder” out the window. The police come and run the robber down. When they ask the women who killed her husband she pins it on the poor robber.
I probably didn’t need to go into all of the details but I really hope the right people read this and help me. If you have the story list for the audio book Classic Tales of Horror, Crime and Murder I’d love for you to list it here. There are many stories on it I’d like to have, but this one was my fav.

Try Edgar Wallace's story "The Man of the Night". I can't find much online, but I have a vague recollection of that story. Wallace has written several stories where you actually feel sorry for the criminal. Also check "The Missing Romney" and "The Stolen Romney".
