B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere.

Gyula Illyés was a Hungarian author who lived in the period 1902-1983. He mainly wrote novels and poems which discussed current problems in the society and politics. He spoke on behalf of the poor and wrote about the oppressed peasant class and the misery that they had to live in. He was always on their side and therefore was he often called a writer "from the people". Instead of trying to hide social injustices, he wanted to give them a voice through his work.
