A milestone in Librivox short story collection history! It is edition 100 and to celebrate, we have some wonderful stories. Old favorites, such as W. Somerset Maugham, P. G. Wodehouse and Ernest Hemingway are joined by less familiar authors, such as Franklin P. Harry, W. H. H. Murray and Dick Purcell. As always, you are invited to sit back and enjoy!(Summary by Lynne Thompson)
For clarification of what "in the Public Domain" means read this. Try to stay with works that run less than 60 minutes [74 minutes is the absolute max]. There is no need to sign-up before recording, as long as the work is clearly in the Public Domain. But please note: Wikisource CAN NOT be used as a source. See "Our policy on text sources."
New to recording? Please see our Newbie Guide to Recording for further instructions. A quick guide to our required technical settings can be found here. When you post your file, please tell the BC what name you would like to use in our catalog.
