The Arraignment is PL-OK! Nicely done! (The intro really sets the piece off well! Thanks for the extra work!)

Thanks also for all your help.

Hello, Philip! Quite a different story that the previous ones!
It's PL OK!

Don't worry about any authors that can't be added. I'll fill in the blanks at cataloguing.

Just a short offering from me. This Hardy poem relates to English West Country folklore which says that, on Christmas Eve, the oxen kneel in their pens to re-enact the nativity.

Hi Folks,

This is my first contribution to a Christmas collection in a while, but I ran across this little story while shopping for children's books and thought it would make a good LibriVox read. Hope you agree.

Winston:

Your reading is PL-OK! Many thanks.

(If you are interested, the Hollow Tree and Deep Woods Book is already in the Librivox collection)

Always good to hear from my home turf--I was born in Berkeley.

Have a joyous holiday season.

Ok...here is one in Spanish. I'm told by friends in Central America that this is not "strictly" a Christmas poem, but it is frequently read at this time of year.

I will advertise for a proof-listener for the Spanish language.

Many thanks, Rapunzelina! (I hope they're merciful).

Just a quick note....I have been unable to enter author's names for sections 17 (Geoffrey Smith), 20 (James Hain Friswell, 1825-1878), and 21 (Octavian Goga 1881-1938). The others are all ok.

I hope that everyone who wanted to will have time to contribute to this collection.
