Here's the preface and stage directions for act 1. https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/tomthumb_narrator_1_128kb.mp3 @ 19.38 I realise that Todd won't need most of the dramatis personae, as that's being read by the actors, but I've included it in full anyway just in case. Anything not needed he can ...

Here's my second one for PL (section 33).

Hi Kevin, could I do a second short one, please? St Swithin’s Day from Holidays & Happy-Days (1901), by Hamish Hendry (dates unknown) http://www.gutenberg.org/files/37216/37216-h/37216-h.htm#ST_SWITHINS_DAY It’s quite short, and I’m sure I’ll be able to upload it before next Wednesday’s closing date.

Hi all. Story 15, The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes , coming in for PL: https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/peterrabbitandothertales_15_potter_128kb.mp3 @ 10.30 It's rather an odd little one, apparently written for the US market and not very well known in the UK. It includes American Animals such as ...

Section 15 The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes has been put back into the pool for anyone to claim. This is the very last unclaimed story in this collection.

I’ll take it if that’s ok.

Thanks for that. Acts 2 and 3 back for quick spot PL:

Stage directions for acts 2 and 3:

Act 1 will take a bit more time to edit, on account of (a) the very long introduction and (b) the loads of Latin.

Section 1 (Morning Prayer) re-uploaded for spot-PL with better pronunciation of "Athanasius".

Also, section 6 (Confirmation) ready for PL.

I think the idea is that if there is a translator, their dates will drive the PD status of something.

That's true, at least outside the US.

Thought you might like some stage directions to PL. :) https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/madamepepita_narrator_1_128kb.mp3 @ 29.28 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/madamepepita_narrator_2_128kb.mp3 @ 17.19 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/madamepepita_narrator_3_128kb.mp3 @ 17.11 Todd, as re...

Huh, I go away for a few days and when I get back I find you've all finished your parts really fast and are sitting there waiting for me to catch up. :wink: Anyway, here are the stage directions for PL: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/sweethearts_narrator_1_128kb.mp3 @ 8.27 https://librivox.org/...

One tiny fix for Act 4. 8:14 Script reads "Sarah is down R. C. as Markham enters." I hear "Sarah is coming down R. C. as Markham enters." Not quite the same thing with that added word in there. Here is act 4 again with the word omitted: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/aliasmisssherlock_narrator...

Yes, I am indeed reading the 1762 printing, with the long Ss - and great fun it is too. I can mostly spot them, but one word which always catches me out is the one that looks like "faith" - except that about half the time turns out to be "saith".

Hi Michele I'd be happy to narrate if you're still in need of a stage director. If so, could you clarify how you want the cast list read, please? For example, for Milette did you want "Milette (the Wood-cutter's Daughter)" [as in the printed text], or "The Girl oblique Milette" [as in the MW] or som...

No problem Pattymarie. I will make the correction you suggested, but may not be able to get to it until next week.

btw, will you update the MW with PL-OK, or should I do that myself once you've approved each track?
