Pollyanna's Jewels, by Harriet Lummis Smith (1866 - 1947)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/pollyannas-jewels-by-harriet-lummis-smith/
In this fourth "Glad Book", Pollyanna returns to her public, no longer the young bride struggling with the problems of housekeeping and homemaking for her beloved Jimmie, but the proud mother of three healthy active children - her "Jewels" - who keep her hands full. (From an original advertisement)

The is the 3rd Sequel to Pollyanna, following Pollyanna Grow's Up, and Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms.

Hi,

Welcome to LibriVox! I've assigned you 2-5 Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. It can be your real name, forum name, or a pseudonym ~ whatever you prefer!

Also, since this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the Listeners Wanted forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.

Thanks, and have fun!
Maria

Thank you, Tina!

There is one tiny PL note. The beginning silence is almost 2 seconds, and we ask that it be no more than 1. :-)
Everything else is great!
