Plug and play. That’s all you have to do to listen to the words of Virginia Woolf. Just as long as you have $40 or $50 to spend.

The Playaway Audiobook comes pre-loaded with digital content, earbuds and a battery, is half the size of a pack of cards and holds the audio for an entire book.

Despite its convenience, these items are too expensive for my budget. But they might come in handy for you some day. They are available on Amazon.com and on the Cleveland company’s website.

Many titles are available, including these by or about Virginia Woolf:

  • Mrs. Dalloway
  • To the Lighthouse
  • Classic Women’s Short Stories – by Kate Chopin, Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf
  • Best of Women’s Stories, Vol. 2 – by Virginia Woolf; Jane Austen; Mary Shelley; L.M. Montgomery; Elizabeth Gaskell; Winifred Holtby; Katherine Mansfield; Kate Chopin
  • Virginia Woolf in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern

A second edition of Virginia Woolf’s 1919 book The Mark on the Wall will be among 120 publications  auctioned off at Bonhams near Kidlington June 16.

Volunteers found Woolf’s book and five other collectible titles in dusty boxes at three different shops. Woolf’s book was donated at the Oxfam bookshop in St. Giles, and is expected to net up to £600.

The rare titles are expected to net the Oxford-based charity more than £2,000.
