The Vanishing Prince
Repeated Passage 4:52-9:16

Skipped passage :"But here again he was immediately fortunate, yet ultimately unfortunate,"....“I saw some queer-looking people leaving as I came in,”

Pleaseadd "by G.K. Chesterton" at the end.

Please slow down when reading... listeners need to process what you are saying. With audiobooks, slower is better.

The Blue Cross

From 13:00-13:40 there is a loud background noise. I'm not sure noise cleaning would help, so it would be best to re-record that passage.

For the outro, it sounds like you say "J.K. Chesterton". It should be "G.K. Chesterton". His name was Gilbert Keith.


For future recordings, please slow down! For audiobooks, slower is better so the listener can process one sentence before you start the next. As it is, the effect is somewhat garbled.

Hi Lynnet

I wish to contribute here by reading a story. But since no source link is given I don't know how to pick up one. Is there any suggestion in this regard?

Readers find their own public domain stories. Project Gutenberg bookshelves are a good starting point. They have many periodicals listed. You can also look at short story collections by single authors.
