About this listen

 In this captivating tale from the author of Peter Pan, Lord Loam, a British nobleman, boldly challenges the notion of class divisions, much to the discomfort of his aristocratic peers. His progressive views are showcased at tea parties where servants and guests mingle, much to the disapproval of Crichton, his loyal butler. When fate casts them all away on a deserted tropical island, the pragmatic Crichton emerges as the only one equipped with practical skills. As social roles are upended, Crichton rises to power as the governor of their new world. Join us for a journey that explores themes of class, society, and the resilience of the human spirit.
