The Little People of the Snow by William Cullen Bryant (1794 - 1878).

Filled with the exuberance of youth and the thrill of discovery, Eva embarks on a Winter walk across snowy fields venturing farther and longer than she had promised her mother. Enticed by a friendly playmate along the way and driven by an insatiable spirit of adventure Eva discovers a wonderful world of snowy elegance peopled by amazing creatures of this Winter land. Fascinated by the marvels that lie before her Eva suddenly realizes she has been away from home far too long and with remorse, hurriedly begins her return. However the way back is cold, difficult and so incredibly tiring. Eva must stop to rest but she's sure it will just be for a moment. (Bruce Kachuk)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/littlepeoplesnow00bryarich
  • 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!

Hi, Bruce

I am setting it up now for you.

Edit: Done. I think you already know how to deal with the window, right? I added the ~ to the title so we find a DPLer. :)

Thanks so much, Leni. I've already begun reading so it shouldn't take too long. I'll let you know if I have any MW queries.

Hi Bruce,

Sect 1 & 2

PL OK

Your reading was very exciting.
The story was not what I expected (heart breaking like The Little Match Girl);
it draws the listener in with wonder and beauty ,carefully cloaking the ending.
Bruce, this is a great addition to the LV library.
Bravo! :clap: :clap:
As your DPL, I thank you. :D
