Grandma Knight's Tales* includes stories that provide entertainment and, hopefully, some moral learning to small listeners. A special dedication goes out to the narrators own grandchildren, by whom this book was inspired. "Merry Christmas to my Bucket, Stuff, Jo-Jo, Buster Brown Eyes, and little Curly...grandma loves you! And a very Merry Christmas to children all over the world! Enjoy!" (Deborah Knight, December 2013) Created to inspire an early love for reading, writing, and literary works it includes the following stories...
1.) Briar Rose 2.) Grandmother 3.) Tiny or Thumbelina 4.) The Old Man and his Grandson 5.) She Was Good for Nothing 6.) The Emperor's New Suit 7.) Jack and the Beanstalk 8.) Little Red Riding Hood 9.) The Brownies and 10.) The Three Bears

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!

I hope I am doing this right? I want to record a collection of about 10 children's stories in one collection if that's possible? Thought I'd start with Briar Rose.
I'm still using tests MC cause not sure if I should use yours yet.
In fact, one of them will most likely BE a reader in time. I really want to get my background noise down to zero..I've heard many other recordings that are totally silent and reading clear. But, I guess mean time I need to hope for good enough. Also, if I begin to run out of time or anything, I've recorded a few from Children's Short Works, Vol. 011 ...5 there that we could maybe add here too? Hansel and Gretel seems to be the favorite from that collection.
Still...I hope this helps.
