About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Auction Block by Rex Beach. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. In the early twentieth century, politics were a much simpler affair, and much could be accomplished by diplomacy and compromise. But even the toughest of politicians could be ruled by their families. Peter Knight was just such a man, who is maneuvered into transplanting to New York for the sake of his beautiful daughter's acting career. - Summary by LynneT
