Stafford's Animal Fables

My Stafford recordings are now posted at the Internet Archive and at LibriVox: yay! I got so much great help from the LibriVox community for this first recording, and I am really excited about working on Nassau. That will take longer, but if I add new recordings every day, I should be done sometime in October. The cover features one of the Sarah Noble Ives illustrations from the book.

Future LibriVox options

I've finished recording all the Stafford stories, but they are still waiting on proof-listener(s). I hope it's okay if I start recording another book in the meantime since it was so fun to just record a little bit every day. So, I decided to make a list of the books I will want to record in the future, starting with a list of the public domain African folktale books.

I'm thinking the one I want to do next is: Nassau. Where Animals Talk.

Baskerville. Flame Tree
Baskerville. King of the Snakes
Bender. African Jungle Tales
