Thanks! Chapter 1 is ready for spot PL! I will need to do a bit of rerecording for the Introduction.

And Chapter 1, Ready for PL! A short one to introduce Johannes before he goes off on his adventures. He definitely favours his dog over his cat - should I include a 'speciesism' warning for cat lovers?

Annise will be MC and newgatenovelist DPL. Thanks once again!

For cataloguing, this is an English translation and we already have the original Dutch version: https://librivox.org/de-kleine-johannes-door-frederik-van-eeden/

Little Johannes, by Frederik van Eeden (1860 - 1932), translated by Clara Bell (1835 - 1927) An allegorical story of the adventures of Little Johannes and his dog Presto....

34, 37, 41, 45 & 47 ready for spot PL! And that should be that for this project. If you would like to join me, next up will be Frederik van Eeden, Little Johannes, which I will post tomorrow. I think it is quite an interesting book and not really a fairy tale as Andrew Lang's introduction implie...

Thanks! I've uploaded the short version of Canto 34 :oops: I'll get on to the last round of corrections later. Canto 34: The new file is over half an hour. I like poetry, but this is more than I bargained for! I believe this will be my 100th completed solo. Around 70 of them have been with this team...

33 and 34 ready for spot PL! That should bring me up to date for now. 'straddle', 'Not one...' and 'seventeen' are all a bit dodgy, but I guess it depends if they will be noticeable in the flow of listening. I hope not, but if you disagree please say so and I will record the lines again. Cantos 35 a...

Cantos 24, 25, 27, 32 ready for spot PL! I don't mind cutting and pasting corrections, I enjoy the challenge, or recording them. It's just that in this case I won't be able to record corrections for at least two weeks, so if they are small I may leave them be. But so far, so good! The Collin's recor...

Can we do this one first? I put the correction in the wrong place - it is at 2:11 but before 'Prodigal...', not 'still nodding night'. I hope it is uploaded okay - if I play from the server, I hear the old version, but if I download, the correction is there. https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/songo...

Aha! We are working on this at the same time! I have just uploaded the corrections to 18 and 21 - and as my notes are the only corrections you've marked, I can go ahead and mark them as Ready for spot PL! I have also uploaded 52 again - in fact, I think the problem was that the file was not uploaded...

39-52 Ready for PL! Please take your time if you prefer to do them one or two at a time. I like the overall impression of this poem, but as you say there are some great lines.

29-38 Ready for PL!

Thanks, Anne! All good and a nice cover image!

15-28 Ready for PL! Two notes of omissions I am aware of that I will correct when I get the other PL notes. Section 18, 'With music strong I come...' is missing right at the beginning; Section 21, just over half way, 'Smile for your lover comes' is missing before 'still nodding night'. I recorded in...
