Title: Little Wizard Stories of Oz

Author: L Frank Baum

Narrator: Maddie

Length: 1 hr 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Kids, Ages 9 to 12

Publisher's Summary:

The "Little Wizard Stories of Oz" are six short stories written by L. Frank Baum in 1913. By all accounts, Baum intended to finish the Oz series with "The Emerald City of Oz," published in 1910. Following that, he attempted to write non-Oz books, publishing "The Sea Fairies" in 1911 and "Sky Island" in 1912. But, (as Baum himself laments in the prefaces of many of his Oz books,) his "little tyrants" were only interested in hearing more Oz stories. So in 1913, he returned to writing about Oz, putting out both The "Little Wizard Stories" and "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" that year.

Title: Girl Scout Collection

Author: Various Authors

Narrator: Betsie Bush

Length: 3 hrs 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Kids, Ages 9 to 12

Publisher's Summary:

These articles, pamphlets, and stories relating to the Girls Scouts of America touch on the history, activities, ideals, and traditions of this remarkable girls' organization. Though some of the articles appear redundant, they were selected to represent a contemporary view spanning five years of the organization's early popularity (1917-1921). Of significance are the detailed descriptions of Girl Scout involvement in war work during what is now known as World War I. Girl Scouts were prepared through their training for merit badges to be independent, resourceful, reliable, and helpful. They were able to make their own clothes, grow and cook their own food, care for the sick, and start a small business--skills that prepared young women for their future roles as homemakers, workers, and citizens.

Title: Plan and Preface to a Dictionary of English

Author: Samuel Johnson

Narrator: Denny Sayers

Length: 2 hrs 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Kids, Ages 9 to 12

Publisher's Summary:

The published dictionary was a huge book: with pages nearly 1 feet tall and 20 inches wide, it contained 42,773 words; it also sold for the huge price of 4/10s. ($400?). It would be years before "Johnson's Dictionary", as it came to be known, would ever turn a profit; authors' royalities being unknown at that time, Johnson, once his contract to deliver the book was fulfilled, received no further monies connected to the book.

Johnson, once again a freelance writer, albeit now a famous one, faced a grim hand-to-mouth existence; however, in July 1762 the twenty-four year old King George III granted Johnson an annual pension of 300. While not making Johnson rich, it allowed him a modest yet comfortable independence for the remaining thirty years of his life. (Summary from Wikipedia).
