Facts and Fancies by Orpheus Everts (1826 - 1903).


This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/facts-and-fancies-by-orpheus-everts/

A group of poems about life centered around a southbound train ride to Cincinnati. ( Lynda Marie Neilson)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/factsfancies00ever
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Thanks very much Ann and Helen!

We mind as well move to Going Solo when you have a moment as I have updated the MW and I do not intend on counting words... :)

Hi Helen!

Sections 3-5 are ready for PL!

I am having an problem with Section 6 which I have recorded - when recording I found an additional Section 5 and then Section 6 listed after it before Section 7. So I have asked IceQueen for her thoughts on it are and how to record before I get too ahead of myself...

I just looked at your text to see what we can do, and it seems that there is also a "chapter" 14. I do think it is a misprint, and I have seen this happen before. There was an extra chapter 35 in a particular project (and a missing chapter 32), so she just named them chapter 35, the first, and chapter 35, the second. You could do something like that, with a note in the summary alerting the listener to the misprint. Here is the project that I am referring to. https://librivox.org/memoir-of-washington-irving-by-charles-adams/


Or, we could just renumber the "chapters" because we know it is a misprint, and we are allowed to "fix" obvious mistakes.

Hi Ann -

Can you please add 3 lines to the MW? I do not think I am able to do that myself.

I have decided to record them as Chapters A and B plus I need to enter Chapter 14.

I will fix the one that I have already recorded but not submitted for PL yet...

Does this sound okay?

That sounds like a great solution! Adding 3 extra sections right now.
