About the work

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

LibriVox recording of The Cloven Foot by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Read in English by Mark Leder. John Traverton goes to visit his uncle Jasper. Jasper wishes John to marry his adopted daughter, Laura. If he does so within one calendar year, he will inherit everything. Sounds simple? Guess again. To say "complications" and "obstacles" are put in the way would be a gross understatement. - Summary by Mark Leder
