As she's getting out of the carriage one day, she sees a little dingy figure standing on the stairs, watching her. Her name is Becky and she is a servant of the house. Sara tries to befriend her, and Lavinia snottily points out that it's unseemly to hang out with servant girls.

Then, Lavinia, in true Mean Girls fashion, sniffs and huffs and says that they should call Sara "Your Royal Highness” when they find out her father is investing in a diamond mine.

We already don't like Lavinia, but it gets worse when she fights with Lottie, who is about a decade younger than she is. God, Lavinia, get a grip.

Ermengarde St. John is a very weird girl and has a decidedly weird name. She's not super smart, poor thing, and is blown away by Sara's ability to learn French.

Miss Minchin isn't very nice to Ermengarde, and because of this, Sara feels the need to reach out to her. Sara is super friendly and kind, so Ermengarde decides Sara will be her best friend (not weird at all).

Then, Sara meets Lottie, a little girl prone to tantrums. and constantly uses the fact that her mother is dead as a bargaining chip. Sara tells Lottie that she doesn’t have a mama either, so she will be Lottie’s school mama.

It's all rainy and gloomy—not exactly the most cheerful start to Mary's new life in Yorkshire. As they drive in a horse-drawn carriage, they pass a large, barren patch of ground, no trees, no birds, no nothin’. It’s the moor. Mary takes one look at this big, empty, bleak stretch of land and decides, "I don't like it".

Mary wakes up in her new home, the next morning, to the sound of Martha, the young housemaid that will be attending her. Martha is somewhat shocked that Mary can’t dress herself. So, Martha breaks down and gets her dressed, letting her know, all the while, that this is not a permanent state of affairs.

On Wednesday, I interviewed Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

She passed away in 1935, so scheduling was a little challenging.

But, I found out that there's now a signup sheet circulating in the afterlife for authors who want to appear on the show.

Apparently, they're just as curious about us as we are about them.

The Dead Author Interviews, a new monthly feature from High Horse Press, where classic authors return to discuss the books that made them immortal.

Starting next week, I'm launching "Dead Author Interviews"—a new feature on the podcast where I "interview" the authors behind the Public Domain Classics we love.

Our very first guest? Charlotte Perkins-Gilman, author of "Herland" and "The Yellow Wallpaper".

We'll talk about:
Her background. Where she came from, her marriage, her diagnosis (from which came "The Yellow Wallpaper") all the way to her death (which was totally in line with how CPG lived her life).
Whether or not humanity is making progress after 90 years, or are we moving in the wrong direction.
Why she created an all-female society in Herland.
What she thinks modern readers still get wrong
*What surprises her most in 2026

And a few questions she probably never expected to answer...

History. Literature. A little humor. And one very unusual interview.

Join me as we bring classic authors back to life—once a month (it takes that long to get here).

🎧 Fridays on The Cathi Colas Audiobooks and High Horse Press podcast.

Today, HERLAND explores social relationships, love, and sexuality—and how fundamentally different Herland's values are from the outside (patriarchal) world the men come from.

This book was written in 1915, when women were largely viewed as domestic non-beings whose primary roles were marriage and motherhood. Yet Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote courageously about a world made better because women were in charge. It amazes me that 111 years later, we still haven’t fully caught up to her vision.

High Horse Press and Cathi Colas Audiobooks present GRIMM WOMEN: And the End of Ever After. Original Grimm tales written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Villain Essays written by Cathi Colas.

Alas, this is the last episode of this book. Next season will be a surprise (for me as well as you). But today we have Snow White and the Evil Queen. We all age out of the beauty market at one point, but thankfully we don’t all become deranged. Or we get just a little deranged and leave it at that. Again, beauty prevails, but the Queen does have something to say about it. Then in the Afterwards, we tie up this little glimpse into the lives of our princesses and villains. I hope you have all enjoyed listening to Grimm Women as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Stay tuned next week. We’ll either be going to Sea or an English Garden. Enjoy.

Welcome to Season 3. For the next few weeks, we will be presenting GRIMM WOMEN: And the End of Ever After. Original Grimm tales written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Introduction, Afterwards, and Villain Voices written by Cathi Colas.

This still falls under the realm of Classics, but with a twist. I brought together some of the more memorable Grimmcesses and since I have always been on the other side of that coin, I wanted to hear from their antagonists. So, they have a say in this too.

I wasn’t sure, when I was putting this together, whether it was still relevant. But I was having an eye-opening conversation with my daughter the other day and I realized that even today, the damage done by Disney to little girls remains. Disney has way better role models now, but back in the day, not so much.

My daughter is getting married in June. She is planning an extravaganza for a wedding. Unfortunately for her, her parents come from plain stock, so the bill is being footed by my daughter and her fiancé, who don’t have this kind of cash.

I asked her why she was doing this and not putting the money down on say, a house? She told me that all her life she dreamed of the ‘fairytale’ wedding. She spent her childhood watching Disney princesses and she almost felt programmed to want this. Not only that, she felt she deserved it.

My daughter is truly a Disney princess come to life. She is beautiful, ethereal, but she is also 31. When do we release the litany of messages that bombard us with the belief that with beauty comes the promise we will have it all.

Did I do this to my daughter. Probably in the beginning. The collection of old VHS movies gathering dust in the attic is testament to my indoctrinating her. I didn’t mean to do this. I just wanted her to be quiet for an hour.

Anyway, this is my take on beauty, Grimmcesses, the voices of the villains, and the end of ever after.

I promise a way shorter Intro next week.

Here we go.

This is Cathi Colas Audiobooks with High Horse Press, where we bring new life to the old classics.

Today, we continue Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

These chapters remind us how deeply a horse depends on the hands that guide him. In the quiet shade of the orchard, Beauty hears about Sir Oliver’s history. John Manley rebukes a hardened man in the handling of his horse. When tempers flare and storms roll in, both man and horse are tested.

It’s a moving look at loyalty and trust — and how one voice of reason can change a life, whether human or horse.

Today, we begin Season 2 with one of the most beloved stories ever told — Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

First published in 1877, this tale is told through the eyes of a horse —whose voice speaks to us of both the beauty and cruelty of the world around him.

In today’s episode we meet Black Beauty at the start of his life. In the fields, by his mother’s side and off to a great start in life, which is very important for any horse, as you will see in future episodes.

Welcome to Episode 2 of The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum —the tornado has passed, the house has landed, and Dorothy is now the proud owner of some very stylish dead-witch shoes.

This week, Dorothy and Toto hit the Yellow Brick Road on a mission to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz — and possibly a way home. But before they get too far, they meet their first companion: a Scarecrow with a big heart and absolutely no brain.

Good thing Dorothy’s has enough brains for both of them… for now. Here we go.

Hello Everyone! I'm back and glad to be back. I've missed you! You'll hear the same great stories on Mondays and Wednesdays with a bit of a twist. On Mondays we'll have our Mysteries, Thrillers, Current Fiction, but Wednesdays will be the Classics.

This podcast will continue to feature some of the best audiobooks narrated by Me! Yep Me! I hope all my friends are still out there and I'd love to make some new ones too.

We're opening with THE KEEPER by Meg O'Brien. Suddenly Brooke Hayes's life is turned upside down. Again. For the past months she has fought to get it back together by overcoming her addictions, revitalizing her neglected stage career, and putting behind her the devastation left by her bitter divorce. She has also been a mother again to her nine-year-old daughter, Charly, whose upcoming visit has meant the world. Everything was fine.

Until the call.

Here we go...
