Five Mice in a Mouse-trap by the Man in the Moon by Laura E. Richards (1850 - 1943).

There are five of these children, and I call them my Five Mice; and the queer house that they live in I call the Mouse-trap. They are such funny children! I watch them sometimes all day long, their pranks are so amusing; and then when night comes, I slide down a moonbeam and sit by their pillows, and tell them stories and sing them songs. Ah! they like that, you may believe! And you all shall hear the stories and songs too, if you like, for I will write them down. So now, children all, listen! in America, Jennie and Johnny; in France, Marie and Emil; in Germany, Gretchen and Hans; in Italy, Tita and Nanni; in Kamschatka, Patchko and Tinka. Listen all, great and small, to the old Man in the Moon ( Laura E. Richards)
  • This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/five-mice-in-a-mouse-trap-by-the-man-in-the-moon-by-laura-e-howe-richards/

    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/29001
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Hey Amy!

I had a little spare non-recording time, so I listened to Chapters 1 and 2.

These are both PL OK! .... Curt, very nice recordings and great narrations!

A wonderful reading of Chapter 3!

This was so much fun to listen to!

I have one PL note: At approx. 13:22, this line of text is missing from your recording: "'Oh! my dear bed!' cried he. "

It is part of this string of text: "Oh! he was wretchedly uncomfortable, and finally he burst into tears. 'Oh! my dear bed!' cried he. 'My nice, soft, warm, pretty bed! why did I ever treat you so badly? oh! dear good bed, if you will only come back to me, I will never, never call you names again."

Curt, I don't think leaving it out changes the meaning or flow of the lines, so I'll leave it up to you whether you want to edit it or not. If not, then I'd mark it PL OK. If you do want to edit it, just add that line in, upload and post the link again and I'll listen for a Spot PL.

Thanks!
Nemo
