Leonora Carrington, the distinguished British-born Surrealist painter is also a writer of extraordinary imagination and charm.

The Hearing Trumpet is the story of 92-year-old Marian Leatherby, who is given the gift of a hearing trumpet only to discover that what her family is saying is that she is to be committed to an institution. But this is an institution where the buildings are shaped like birthday cakes and igloos, where the Winking Abbess and the Queen Bee reign, and where the gateway to the underworld is open. It is also the scene of a mysterious murder.

Occult twin to Alice in Wonderland, The Hearing Trumpet is a classic of fantastic literature that has been translated and celebrated throughout the world.

Originally published 1974.

Note: This book doesn’t have chapters, but it does have scene breaks (denoted by asterisks in the text). Splitting it into scenes seemed like a better option than one long mp3.
