Stellamaris is a young paralysed girl who is confined to a bed in the Channel House overlooking the English Channel. She is cared for by her elderly uncle and aunt, Sir Oliver and Lady Blount and is often visited by two young men, John Risca, a journalist, and Walter Herold, an actor, who regularly visit the house from London and who entertain her by weaving fantasies around an imaginary castle and land.
After some time, Stellamaris starts to recover the use of her limbs and the book tells the story of the changing relationships between her, John and Herold as well as Unity, a young girl who John rescues from the grimmest of circumstances, as their fortunes twist and turn. - Summary by Simon Evers (10 hr 3 min)

Beautiful Story, Beautifully Told
Scott in Sandy Eggo
(5 Sterne)
Once again, the unmatched artistry and vocal talent of Simon Evers combined with the author WJ Locke creates a theatre of the mind. Especially since this story begins with a character who lives in an imaginary world. As a very physically disabled person myself, I could relate to this story on so many personal levels. The story is a good study in human psychology and determinism, in other words, how much we are capable of understanding the actions of ourselves and others, vis-à-vis our sense of personal choice. Thanks Mr. Evers for selecting another great work that might otherwise be overlooked. Cheers from California.
William John Locke and Simon Evers - a perfect pairing.
