This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/doodles-by-emma-dowd/
Doodles is a gentle child, who spends his days confined to a chair - but his life is turned round by the arrival of a special new friend, a gift from his brother Blue, with a remarkable talent. This story tells his tale and that of his life in America in the early 1900s.
