Glyn's captivating prose and the rich, atmospheric setting create an immersive experience that lingers long after the final word is spoken.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3573</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/197743dc0a48f9a3cc756a9693be4608.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Chapter II, Part C</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/chapter-ii-part-c--57932102</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57932102</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2023 19:18:44 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57932102/irtonwoodghost_05_glyn_64kb.mp3" length="5235769" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11/54d69e61-dfe7-4154-b3c2-e01b18445b11.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Elinor Glyn</itunes:author><itunes:duration>654</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/197743dc0a48f9a3cc756a9693be4608.jpg"/><itunes:episode>5</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Chapter II, Part B</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/chapter-ii-part-b--57932108</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57932108</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Dec 2023 19:18:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/57932108/irtonwoodghost_04_glyn_64kb.mp3" length="5516290" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/sounder/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413/3077f4ed-4979-46bb-8a8b-09f307098413.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Elinor Glyn</itunes:author><itunes:duration>689</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/197743dc0a48f9a3cc756a9693be4608.jpg"/><itunes:episode>4</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Chapter II, Part A</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/chapter-ii-part-a--57932142</link><description><![CDATA[http://www.adfreebooks.com -
