The House at Pooh Corner, by A. A. Milne (1882 - 1956)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-house-at-pooh-corner-by-a-a-milne/

Volunteers outside the USA: A. A. Milne died in 1956. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
The concluding ten chapters to the much beloved chronicles of Winnie the Pooh and friends in the hundred acre wood. (Summary by aquio)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://archive.org/details/the-house-at-pooh-corner

Target completion date: 2024-01-05

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

Happy new year! For the text link, project Gutenberg doesn't yet have the book available. Would it be alright to edit the post with the project Gutenberg link once it becomes available?

Well , no. Not if you are starting the project. That's not a PD source so we don't want it even for a while, and you'd be making some volunteer break the law when they DPLed, and the MC too. There is no advantage in being the first person to post.

I'll move it till you have a PD source

This one's PD: https://archive.org/details/the-house-at-pooh-corner

It's not the cleanest scan, but it will do to record from, if you don't want to wait for PG.

If you're good with this text, we can move this back to the Launch Pad.

Have you worked with the Magic Window before? You'll need to add the section titles, then put the sections in there (the URLs, and the duration in the Notes field), and change the Status column of the submitted sections. :)

Introduction and Chapter 1 sound great! They just need 5 seconds of silence on the end of each.

Chapters 2+3 just need the five seconds of silence at the end; chapter 4 needs that and has a repeat of the LV disclaimer/intro at 4:45. I'm enjoying listening! Keep up the good work :)
