Lulu's Library, Volume 2, by Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888)
Most of these stories were written at sixteen for my younger sisters and their playmates, the little Emersons and Channings, and appeared some years later under the name of "Flower Fables." With some additions they are now republished for the amusement of those children's children by their old friend,

L. M. ALCOTT.
June, 1887. (Summary by Louisa May Alcott)

We are just waiting for one correction on the first volume, so I decided to go ahead and put this up.

Hello!

That would be great! But first, since you are quite new here, you may find it to your advantage to do a 1-minute test first. It is not an audition, just a way to make sure that all your technical settings are right before you jump into recording.

And another thing is that this section is kind of long for a first section, if you don't mind it being long, then great! Just wanted to let you know.

One last thing: What name would you like to be credited under in the LV catalog? It can be almost anything! Typically, it is what you would say in 'Read by _____'.

I hope you have a great day!
