What Katy Did at School by Susan Coolidge (1835 - 1905).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/what-katy-did-at-school-dramatic-reading-by-susan-coolidge/

Following Katy's recovery in What Katy Did, Katy and Clover go to Hillsover, a boarding school. Together with their new friend Rosamond Redding, or "Rose Red", they form a Society for the Suppression of Unladylike Conduct--but then they are accused of sending notes to a boy outside the school. Katy and Clover know they have nothing to do with it, but can they prove their innocence to the teachers and principal before they are expelled? ( Temporary summary by Esther ben Simonides)

  We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim.

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.

Welcome back everyone who was in the last book! And welcome everyone else!
Here is the DP, where I will be recording claims until I get an MW. You are welcome to play multiple characters as long as they are not in the same chapters. Characters in italics are already claimed.

I can't wait! I'll try to have Katy in as soon as possible. Sorry, I won't be able to read any other parts.

EstherbenSimonides · Post by **EstherbenSimonides** » April 8th, 2016, 11:34 am

Yes, I realized that you and I are in all the chapters. Oh, well!

May I read Rose Red?

And maybe Elsie as well

See my PM.

EstherbenSimonides · Post by **EstherbenSimonides** » April 8th, 2016, 7:52 pm

I PM'ed you about it.

I see you have already put me down for Old Mary again. Since she is only in one chapter, I could probably also help out with another character. I feel a bit too old to play the girls though, can I be one of the teachers ? I don't know the book at all, maybe Mrs Florence ? This name sounds like a teacher. Is she a nice person ?

I'd be more than happy to continue on as Cousin Helen!

Post by **m8b1** » April 9th, 2016, 8:06 am

And I guess I'll jump back in and MC for you again!

The MW is all set! Have fun!

It would be great if you would do Mrs. Florence. She's a teacher (maybe not exactly a nice person, but probably the nicest teacher.

)

Thank you! She's in fewer chapters this time, so if you'd like to play someone else as well, go ahead.
