- Classic tale from the master of the genre.
"The Choice of Amyntas" tells the story of Peter the Schoolmaster, who names his firstborn son Amyntas despite his wife's objections. Amyntas grows up under his father's strict educational regimen, learning many classical languages and texts.

Thank you for the stories they are helping me with my depression
Bon Courage to you dear reader 🌞. Make sure you're hydrated, water mixed with coconut water is good and do several deep belly breaths each hour. Try to walk outside when the sun 🌞 has first risen. Don't mean to load you down, just offering a few thoughts from personal experience. Each dawn is a new creation. 💛 🌻🌿
Thank you. I am so enjoying your uploads of several brilliant writers and stories.
Somerset Maughan really loved having a blue eyed character.
Twinkling blue eyes.
“Once upon a time very long ago when the world was younger and more wicked than it is now…” A perfectly enchanting beginning!
I am mesmerized by the illustration, AI and all….
the narration and illustration are AI, next step is AI-written "Somerset Maugham" stories!
I too!!!!! I studied Illustration during the 60s. I met so fantastic Illustrators!! Beautiful art and music choices. VO /AI not, Mesmerizing and TRANSPORTING. .
I really love this story - thank you! ❤
What a story? So exciting and so different so black and so bright.
I still remember the queen's jubilee all if them❤
Can’t say that I enjoyed this allegory.… much prefer SM’s’ anecdotal stories.
Princess. Anne is lovely 💕
i take issue with the statement @ 1:43 ,.
for the currant world in which we live is in-deed FAR MORE WICKED than it was at anytime during those far off days long ago. take me back to the pre-electric days of horse and cart anytime, and you know where your iphone can go.!!. WOAH.!!.. steady boy.. giddy up.. clipidy clop.. ho ho ho...
Thank you 🙏
Who in there right mind would not live at frogmore 🐸 cottage 🕵️🌟
He was the only one who had a nanny😂
The queen's sisters last born 🙏🇬🇧🙌💯😎
Beautiful song too! Who sings it and what is it called?
I can't decide if this is a retelling of the Odyssey or of the prodigal son.
Oh but the prodigal one left of his own accord with conceit in his heart.
🙏🙏🙏🙏👏💕
Edward was the favourite❤❤
No he wasn't, Andrew was the Queens favourite supposedly,
It's complicated 😁
How the other half live for now😂😂
A Faurytale, indeed.
I would love to call Charles out😂😎✋
Hi 👋 what is the beautiful song in the called? I’d be very grateful and happy if anyone could help me out so I could look it up on Spotify and add to my playlist 🙏

@@neuralsurfer Oh 🙏 many many thanks 🙏 I’m immensely grateful for all of your efforts to making this possible for me! Wow I’m so beyond grateful! Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
Respectfully, Grace 🩰
Edward looks like my uncle 🤣 for sure
Peter ain't that Princess Annes son🕵️🌻
Charles crowned himself and Camilla 🙈🙈
Like Napoleon and Josephine… 😳
Did he, did Charles, actually do that? I don’t remember.
I just looked it up and watched again. You must have been dreaming. Never happened. That’s what happened in Desiree where Napoleon crowned himself and then Josephine. Who else but Marlon Brando to play him … just like him.
These S Maughan short stories are so addictive. I so like this particular narrator as well. Who is he please. Art work and music add to the enjoyment. Downside is that I am sure last week there was only one introductory advertisement, now there are numerous so you need to have your device at hand to deal with them. Thank you neuralsurfer. Carol
It's an AI narration
The queen daddy was king cos of Berti and mrs Simpson Albert had to Abdicate cos of adultery ehhh 🤔 so why does Charles think hes different queen victoria never got over it 💥👁️👌
I think you mean he had to abdicate because of marrying a divorced woman, and his mother Queen Mary never got over it, Victoria was long gone by his time
The queen and Charles 🤫 he was never the favourite 🙄🤣
Llyods Bank 🏦❤❤
Free coins 1977😂

What on earth is this man talking about.
Charles is a tyrant 😅my opinion ☮️
