Narrator: David Wales

Length: 1 hr 12 mins

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

This book is part of the author's "Nature Books For Children" series (three books), which is probably the best indication of its target audience and subject matter. The book is fun and charming, even for adults. Arthur Michell Ransome was an English author and journalist who had a reputation as one of the best English writers of children's books. "When we think of sowing seeds we think of Spring with the new corn green on the red ground, and when we think of Spring we think of Summer, when it is tall and wavy in the wind, and when we think of Summer we think of Autumn when the corn is golden and cut, and then, why, then we come to Winter again." - Author's quote and david wales

Title: Rosalynde or, Euphues' Golden Legacie

Author: Thomas Lodge

Narrator: Thomas A. Copeland

Length: 5 hrs 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

This novel, which Shakespeare adapted in his pastoral comedy As You Like It, is the archetypal pastoral adventure. Two young persons of high birth, who have recently lost their fathers (one to death, one to banishment), fall in love but are separated almost at once and forced to flee to the Forest of Arden. There they meet again, but as Rosalynde is disguised for safety as a boy, named Ganymede, her lover Rosader does not recognize her.

Once Rosader has confided his love to Ganymede, they play a game in which the "boy" poses as Rosalynde to give Rosader practice in wooing. As the comic episodes, replete with dramatic irony, accumulate, minor characters with complementary romantic relationships fill in the spectrum of the sublime ludicrousness of sexual love until the shadow of death (which is not excluded from Arcadia!) brings matters to a happy conclusion.

The various sets of lovers are appropriately joined, and once the corrupt seats of authority back home have been either purged or reformed, Rosalynde's banished father the Duke and the high-born lovers return to civilization, bringing with them a better understanding of what really matters in life.

Title: Pomona's Travels

Author: Frank R. Stockton

Narrator: Sibella Denton

Length: 4 hrs 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

Pomona and Jone of Rudder Grange fame travel to England and Scotland. Along the way, Pomona tangles with wild pigs, haymaking, hotels great and small, Pullman cars, comparison-makers, and a Duchess. She makes two matches and - in her usual, unorthodox way - stag hunts and attends a knighting. Pomona is as hilarious as ever, if a bit more rounded off on the edges.

Title: Stalky & Co. (More Stories)

Author: Rudyard Kipling

Narrator: Tim Bulkeley

Length: 1 hr 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

This small collection puts together stories by Kipling that feature the characters from Stalky & Co. but which for some reason were not included in the book Stalky & Co. Of these the more interesting is the first, "Stalky", which introduces the characters and is full of the humour and understanding of adolescent males and their timeless jostling with adult powers that characterise the stories in Stalky & Co.

"Stalky" was the first of the tales to be written, and was published in 1898, so it is difficult to understand how it came to be omitted from the book in 1899. "Regulus", while also full of humour, is a more difficult read in an age when a "proper" classical education is no longer something widely experienced. There are also other stories that cannot be included here because they are still in copyright: - "The United Idolators" and "The Propagation of Knowledge" in Debits and Credits (1926) - "The Satisfaction of a Gentleman" in The Complete Stalky & Co (1929). There is also another "Scylla and Charybdis", unpublished in Kipling's day, and only made available recently that although not copyright in the USA cannot be included because we do not have access to the manuscript, only an edited edition (which itself is subject to copyright).

If you enjoyed Stalky & Co you will probably enjoy these additional stories.(Introduction by Tim Bulkeley)

Title: Sun and Saddle Leather

Author: Charles Badger Clark

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 1 hr 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

Cowboy Poetry began as a 19th Century Performance Art staged around a crackling campfire, referencing tall tales and personal stories, lost girlfriends, and love of the vast unboundaried West. It was best accompanied by a hot tin cup of boiled coffee, dunked biscuits, and beef jerky. The rhymed couplets were easy to remember, and once the day's drive was done, everybody had a few hours to listen to friends and wonder at the stars. Badger Clark gave voice and record to this unique American folk art, and built on it to express his own creative genius. He was declared the first Poet Laureate of South Dakota, or as he liked to say, "Poet Lariat." Summary by Ed Humpal

Mirandolina runs an inn in Florence alone with only the help of her loyal employee Fabricius, and all of her guests are in love with her. The wealthy but only newly aristocratic Count D'Albafiorita and the impoverished but noble Marquis di Forlipopoli vie for her affections while debating the respective value of wealth and nobility (and insulting each other a good deal along the way). The misogynistic Cavalier di Ripafratta scoffs at their shared infatuation and ridicules the idea of love, but will he too fall victim to the beautiful innkeeper's charms? And can any of them win the heart of the independent Mirandolina? - Summary by Mary J

Title: Buttered Side Down

Author: Edna Ferber

Narrator: Xe Sands

Length: 4 hrs 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

Um-m-mmaybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar? After Puss in Boots had won wealth and a wife for his young master did not that gentleman often fume with chagrin because the neighbors, perhaps, refused to call on the lady of the former poor miller's son?

It is a great risk to take with one's book-children. These stories make no such promises. They stop just short of the phrase of the old story writers, and end truthfully, thus: And so they lived. E. F. (Summary from the Foreword to "Buttered Side Down")
