Thanks both for your help all the way through!

One note for Chapter 45: at 1:56, there’s an odd buzzing noise that continues until almost 2:00. Sorry, missed that.

"Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."
~ Gandalf, 'The Return of the King' by J. R. R. Tolkien

At 2:46, I hear “…if they had been put inside…” but the text reads “…if they had been put outside…” Given that the next sentence talks about the boxes being put “inside on the front seat,” I think this will need to be corrected. My bad, thanks for letting me know! Chapter 39 ready for spot PL. http...

I did hear a couple of soft noises here and there in the latter two as if you were brushing up against or near the mic. Nothing that needs correcting, but maybe just be careful how you move about while reading. Okay. Please let me know if they are too loud or irritating though! Chapters 39-41 ready...

This is up to you as the soloist. You may include it, or you may skip it as it's not part of the actual text. I'd probably skip it, if I was reading :mrgreen: If you do decide to include it, my suggestion would be as: “Thank you, sir,” said Jerry, “but I have only taken out a six-days' license, and...

Came across an Author's Note in Ch 36. It goes... “Thank you, sir,” said Jerry, “but I have only taken out a six-days' license,* and therefore I could not take a fare on a Sunday; it would not be legal.” * A few years since the annual charge for a cab license was very much reduced, and the differenc...

I suppose it also depends on the child. I remember my sister sobbing over the movie version of Bambi because his mother was shot. And my son had to be persuaded that The Goofy Movie was going to be fun because it only had "funny breaking things" in it (he disliked movies that had a lot of...

I recently coordinated another Librivox project called Poor Blossom: The Story of a Horse that was even more tragic than this. That horse ended up at the knackers (and that was a relief for him!) I wonder that they thought these stories suitable for children. Oh gosh! I don't know, but was it inten...

Unlike the story, which is going downhill for poor Beauty, it would seem. Yes, I reckon part 2 in general is not a good time for Beauty unfortunately!
