Title: The Travel and Adventures of Little Baron Trump

Author: Ingersoll Lockwood

Narrator: Gildart Jackson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-02-18

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Ingersoll Lockwood invented the fictional character Baron Trump in 1890 for a two-part sci-fi/fantasy series about a privileged German heir who undertakes a sequence of fantastic voyages. The style of the Baron Trump series - a mix of fantasy and young-reader-oriented science fiction - anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum's Oz series. The Travel and Adventures of Little Baron Trump describes Baron's trip around the world with his little dog Bulger, meeting new races like the Wind Eaters, Man Hoppers, Round Bodies, and Melodious Sneezers, in as yet undiscovered lands. The unusual prescience of Ingersoll's narrative has given rise to a conspiracy theory that US President Donald Trump has had access to a time machine.

Publisher's Summary:

A baby is found by wood nymphs in the forest of Burzee. They raise him as their own and give him the name Neclaus. When he grows up, Neclaus has to leave the forest so he makes a home for himself in the laughing valley of Hohaha, where he lives amongst humans for the first time. He discovers there that many children are very poor and neglected so, to cheer them up, he whittles wooden toys as gifts. Eventually he makes presents for all the children and so the story of Santa Claus is born.

From the author of the Wizard of Oz comes a magical tale about the origins and story of Santa Claus including Santa's childhood among the fairies and animals, how he came to make presents, and why he comes down our chimneys at Christmas.

Members Reviews:

Beautiful Story of Santa Claus. Timeless.

What a neat story that explains the origins of Santa Claus and how he started making toys and became immortal. Then moves on to how parents help get the toys he makes to the kids he so loves. I've never read L. Frank Baum, and not really into reading children's literature these days, but I enjoyed this so much I'm going to purchase a hard cover, illustrated copy for my great nephews and great niece to read every Christmas. Now I want to read the Wizard of Oz series.

The Complete Story of Santa Claus

This is a great Christmas story for young and old alike. It gives the history of Santa Claus from the time of birth to old age. The book also gets into how the legend developed over the course of Santa's life. There are many interesting aspects of how the Santa grew up, developed making toys and how he arrived at his delivery system for Christmas Eve. It is a fun and interesting story. I truly enjoyed the book.

Wonderful Holiday Read-Aloud

This was a very imaginative story and quite enjoyable for my kids. The illustrations are wonderful and I actually stopped and studied each one to take in all the details. Very entertaining read if you like the L. Frank Baum style - which I do. This is a great book to read to your children!!

Not enough of a Christmas atmosphere...

This book interested me because it was written by L. Frank Baum, author of the OZ books, but frankly, I was disappointed. It required more suspension of disbelief than my senior citizen mind could handle. Children might enjoy it, but I would have preferred more of a "Christmas-y" atmosphere.

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed this story very much. I loved how Santa was saved by deaths clutches at the last minute with the mantle of immortality. It had such a great fantasy world that seemed so real.

The cover of this book is terribly pixelated. They say you can't judge a book by its cover and that's true. But this cover is so ugly it is painful to look at. I cannot speak to the quality of translation, but if the cover is any guide it is likely awful.

Título: Colmillo blanco [White Fang] (Nómadas del tiempo)

Autor: Jack London

Narrador: Eduardo Wasveiler

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 9 hrs

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 09-21-17

Editor: Audible Studios

Categorías: Classics, American Literature

Resumen del editor:

Ambientada en la vida agreste y salvaje de una frontera que trasciende su mero carácter físico para convertirse en encarnación del conflicto entre la naturaleza y un ser humano alienado de ella, Colmillo blanco es una de las obras más célebres de Jack London (1872-1916).

Reverso casi simétrico de La llamada de la naturaleza, en la historia del perro salvaje que, significativamente, se degrada en su contacto con el hombre, hallamos, en efecto, matizadas por la belleza de los grandes escenarios naturales y una remota esperanza de redención, las inquietudes que rigen toda la obra del autor estadounidense: el choque entre civilización y naturaleza, la perpetua pugna entre el bien y el mal, la supervivencia del más fuerte, el determinismo genético, y la selección natural.

Critic Reviews:

"Steve Cook provides characterizations that are fun, compelling, and even comical at times, in his own very animated style...it's honestly impressive to see how one person can make such a familiar story so completely absorbing to listen to. This is truly a great introduction to - or reminder of - the stories of Tom Sawyer by classic author Mark Twain." (The Old Schoolhouse Magazine)

Great Bedtime Reader

All of the Illustrated Chosen Classics are great bedtime readers. My wife sits in the hall of the children's bedrooms and reads these stories to them at bedtime. The difference between these books and the traditional novels is that these stories move very fast. My son, in particular, will hear one of these abridged classic novels and, if he likes it, will then read the full unabridged version on his own. Kind of gives our kids a taste of the classics without having to start reading a really large and sometimes overwhelming looking book. My son is 10 and my daughter is 15. We have about 30 of these types of books in our library.

A Classic Still

Like many people of my age (62), I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a child because at that time it was widely perceived to be a child's or young adult's book. This is unfortunate as it is not nor has it ever been directed at the young. In my rereading I discovered for the first time why it is still called the original great American novel. Huckleberry, like Twain, is opinionated and perceptive. His narration and point of view drive the novel forward. Rather than relegate this work to the children's shelves or castigate it as racist, folks should embrace this novel for what it is, a bildungsroman that shows the growth of a country as well as the growth of its young protagonist.

It captivated a classroom full of surly teens

I teach English, and the junior year in North Carolina is devoted to American literature. I approached Huck Finn with no small amount of trepidation because of Twain's use of vernacular. I ran into the same problem with "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and solved that by listening to Ruby Dee's audio recording, which students loved. I purchased this recording of Huck Finn, and it was to die for fabulous. Students read along in their books as we listened to the recording, and it helped bring the characters and the story alive for them. They laughed when I hoped they would laugh, and they understood the novel so much better by being able to listen to it. This recording was invaluable.

Reading this book as an adult is a whole different ...

Reading this book as an adult is a whole different experience. I'm fairly sure the versions I read as a child were watered down.

Title: Rainbow Valley - Annotated

Subtitle: Original 1919 Edition

Author: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrator: Karen Savage

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-21-17

Publisher: Paperless

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Rainbow Valley (1919) is the seventh audiobook in the chronology of the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, although it was the fifth book published. In this audiobook, Anne Shirley is married with six children, but the audiobook focuses more on her new neighbor, the new Presbyterian minister John Meredith, as well as the interactions between Anne's and John Meredith's children.

The audiobook is dedicated: "To the memory of Goldwin Lapp, Robert Brookes, and Morley Shier, who made the supreme sacrifice, that the happy valleys of their home land might be kept sacred from the ravage of the invader." This refers to World War I, which is the main theme of the next and final audiobook in the series, Rilla of Ingleside.

ok

I've always loved this book and the narrator did a very good job but it was jarring to hear "End of chapter" after each one. Editing could have been better.

Publisher's Summary:

Billy Byrne is a low-class American born in Chicago's ghetto. He grows up a thief and a mugger. "Billy was a mucker, a hoodlum, a gangster, a thug, a tough." He is not chivalrous nor kind, and has only meager ethics - never giving evidence against a friend or leaving someone behind. He chooses a life of robbery and violence, disrespecting those who work for a living. He has a deep hatred for wealthy society. He trains as a prizefighter but cannot stop drinking.

When falsely accused of murder, he flees to San Francisco and is shanghaied aboard a ship. Ironically, enforced sobriety, brutal ship's discipline, and productive work improve him. The ship's secret mission is soon enacted - the hijacking of a specific yacht to take a millionaire's daughter, Barbara Harding, for ransom. Billy Byrne brutally beats her suitor, Billy Mallory, leaving him for dead. "He knew that she looked down upon him as an inferior being. She was of the class that addressed those in his walk of life as 'my man'."

After Barbara confronts him and calls him a coward, a change begins in Billy Byrne. He saves the life of one kidnapper, Theriere, rather than letting him be washed overboard, though he cannot fathom his own reasons. After a terrible storm, the ship is damaged and only makes it to land with Billy's help at the wheel. He rescues Barbara from the wreck and brings her ashore. Barbara is kidnapped by headhunters descended from medieval Japanese. Byrne and Theriere race to rescue her from the daimyo's hut in the middle of the village.

Loved listening to Gene's voice.

A lively vintage story, with very 1921 vocabulary and moral sentiments. Listens well at 1.35 speed. A refreshing change from my usual reading list and i liked the ending.
