The Swamp Cat by Jim Kjelgaard (1910 - 1959).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-swamp-cat-by-jim-kjelgaard/
This adventure in the great outdoors follows the cat Frosty and a young man named Andy as they make a life for themselves in a swamp. They work together to fend off dangers and unwanted poachers in yet another charming story by Jim Kjelgaard. ( Siler Weaver)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/35487
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Glad to see you starting on this one.

I've suddenly been swamped with my PL projects -- part of the big push to complete old projects in our "March to the Finish" drive. So, it may be awhile before I get to this as I concentrate on the clean-up projects, but I've got this in my queue. :)

Back from summer camps and ready to finish this book! Sorry for the delay and for forgetting to post checkups. I've stopped receiving notifications for some reason and I completely spaced it.

Here is chapter 2
