Harper's Young People is an illustrated weekly publication for children that includes short stories, tales from history, natural history, poetry, puzzles, and other fun. This 27th issue of the serial was published on May 4th, 1880. In this issue, the story of the young sailor on his first voyage continues as his ship makes port on the island of Malta. The legend of General George Washington grows as he allies with the French to defeat the English after years spent in a virtual stalemate in the Revolution. New stories are sure to delight as readers take a picnic with Mother Goose and friends, do good for others as members of the "Happy Club", witness a harrowing rescue attempt on an unthawing Russian river, join the sweet spring harvest happening in the sugar bush, and enjoy many more adventures. This periodical was published by Harper & Brothers, known today for their publications Harper's Bazaar and Harper's Magazine. (Summary by Jill Engle)

I'll read Section 8 as well.


Would you like the illustration read at the end of Section 9? I know we don't usually do that.

Eight sounds great, Betty. And yes, I think let's include the caption to the Wiggles picture through the list of names. It won't make total sense to a listener but I think you need to hear the illustration caption to understand a bit about the list of names, and the list of names is nice to include for posterity. That's my initial thought anyway, let me know if you think otherwise. Thanks for your attention to detail!

Section 3

https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/hyp027_03_various_128kb.mp3 10:19

We live in the middle of maple sugar country. Close neighbors have a sugaring shack, but haven't found any sugar maples on our property yet. But, some boiling down of sap from other trees such as birch, is being done. The process is still the same but with more modern equipment.

PS: Tried posting this earlier, but couldn't get into the LV sit all morning....

Thank you Larry! I love the smell in the nature center near my home when the sap is being boiled down to syrup. It's such a nice early spring tradition!
