You are old, father William... by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

PS: And could I get some opinions on the voices I used for this recording? ^_^

Micah, I'd say your Father William was very accomplished indeed. You'd be excellent using that voice in Dickens or any Victoriana (perhaps with a sinister edge added).

Thanks for the poems, it's all in the box!

Hi And Welcome to LIbrivox!

Could you please provide a link to the text? We only record public domain works, and it's highly possible that this poem is not in the public domain, if the author is still living...

Poems are all PL'd. Notes are in the MW.

The only ones that readers need to fix are sections 2 and 3.

Section 17 might need to be re-read.

The rest can be fixed by me or the MC.

PM'ing the readers of the mentioned sections.
