Billy Whiskers at Home, by Frances Trego Montgomery (1858 - 1925)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/billy-whiskers-at-home-by-frances-trego-montgomery/
This is one in the beloved series of Billy Whisker books. a loveable goat whose adventures always entertain. Of course, adventure for Billy usually means trouble. From the Brazilian bullfight and butting contests to what happens on Thanksgiving Day, there is always laughter. We won’t even talk about the ginger cookies! But then, Billy can also be a hero, along with his cat and dog friends, Stubby and Button, who save a life. (Summary by Larry Wilson)

Ooh, this one is cruel - I want to read it all. :D

Seriously though, could I have the following:

XV Butting Matches 129
XVI The Ducks Grow Dizzy-Headed 135
XVIII Catching the Thanksgiving Turkey 151


Or, would you prefer I wait until it is in the MW? :cry:

Thanks,

M

Thanks again, Tricia!

MW populated.
I think I heard once that double quotations marks aren't handled well, so I've changed those to two singles.

Anyway, early claims entered and we are ready for more readers and a DPL would be most welcome.

Double quotes are no longer a problem, but don't worry about changing 'em back. :wink:

Thank you for your interest in this project.
We do, however, request that our new readers first complete a one-minute test recording to check out all of your technical specifications and any reading issues.

New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!

Among the useful information there you will find instructions for completing your test recording. Once you have the "OK" on that, post again here and you are free to record for this project. Let us know how you would like to be credited in the LibriVox catalog - real name, pseudonym or other nickname.

Then you make you selection of any of sections marked "Open" in the Magic Window.

Just let us know if you need any help.
We have a lot of helpful tutorials, and are ready to answer questions and give assistance.
