Hey there! I got caught up putting in the meta data on your story, and forgot to communicate back with you. Sorry about that!

The Fight with the Foxes is very nicely done, and is PL OK

Thank you very much for contributing to this project! Hope to see you 'round LibriVox here and there.

Here's a myth/legend from Japan.

Kintano, or the Wild Baby
from Japanese Fairy World: Stories from the Wonder-lore of Japan. - by William Elliot Griffis
https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/29337/pg29337-images.html#KINTARO_OR_THE_WILD_BABY
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/mlaw017_kintaro_griffis_qtn_128kb.mp3
Duration: 4:10

"Kintaro" really more closely translates to "Golden Boy" but I suppose artistic license is allowed.

Also, I read the author's name as "Griffiths", but luckily my tongue failed to properly delineate the consonat combination, so it sounds like I said it right

LCaulkins · Post by **LCaulkins** » January 22nd, 2023, 5:16 pm

Heh! That does seem like quite a bit of artistic license, doesn't it?

Your story is loaded and queued for PL - thanks!

Hi, Maggie! Welcome to LibriVox!

Yes, this would be a lovely addition. Since we're at the final open spot, I'll reserve that for you.
