[COMPLETE] Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens-ans

[AdeledePignerolles]

I've got the DP all edited but I don't think Dr. Losberne ever read his voice credit? I can't find it in his files. Does anyone know where it might be, or should I PM him? EDIT: I PM'd Peter so hopefully we'll get a voice credit soon.

I'll have to start thinking about how to catalogue it - you are doing a fantastic job there

Sorry, I slipped up and missed my "Dr Losberne read by ...". Here it is: https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/losberne_py.mp3

And the cast of characters/dp/section 0 is ready for PL!

I inserted book stall keeper after Clerk and before Mrs. Bedwin, but other than that it follows the DP doc in the second post.
And if this and Chapter 51 are PL OK we are done!

[rockbadger]

Woo!

[Elizabby]

Chapter 51 is great! I agree that you can't really tell who is speaking for that extra line.

Edit: DP is also PL OK!

That's it, I think we are ready for the catalogue! Well done everyone!

EDIT: The MW needs some sorting out, shall I make a start on that? I'm not sure who else has MW access, and I don't think Rachel is around at the moment to do it. If I do it, it would be in my usual style which is to put all the names in the first chapter, rather than doing every chapter with its own readers. I don't think it makes any difference, as any more than three readers appears as "group" anyway, and for the metadata purposes as long as you appear in one chapter then it still appears on your list. I don't think anyone really searches for readers by chapters within a book, do they? Actually, all the readers need to be put in the DP section anyway, so I'll go ahead and do that much at least.

We also need a summary for the catalogue - I'm happy to write that, just give me a few minutes...

[Elizabby]

OK, how about this?

When orphaned Oliver Twist asks for more food, the workhouse board are horrified and immediately pack him off to work for an undertaker, who treats him badly. Oliver runs away and finds himself in the streets of London, where he meets the Artful Dodger and is lured into a gang of young pickpockets, led by the evil Fagin. Even amidst his horrible surroundings, Oliver escapes and finds his way into a loving home. But Fagin's gang are determined to steal him back to their life of crime, coming closer and closer...

Dickens' classic tale of an orphan boy who has adventures with pickpockets and thieves, is here brought to life in a dramatised reading with a full cast! Scheming Fagin, cruel Bill Sykes and innocent Oliver tell their stories in their own voices, as dramatically as Dickens intended. Oliver Twist has been made into several movies and a musical, as the themes of social justice and the triumph of goodness over evil are perennially appealing.

EDIT: I'm about half way through fixing up the MW. I'd appreciate it if someone could do a Cast List - I think that's the last thing before the cataloguing can start!

[Elizabby]

OK, I've finished the MW - there are only four names in each of the subsequent sections after the first, because that's all that is needed for the catalogue to show "group".

I'll do the Cast List now...

[AdeledePignerolles]

Yay! The summary looks great. Thanks for getting all the finishing touches done!

[Elizabby]

Here's the Cast List! My plan would be to put SweetPea as the BC, since she did the bulk of the early work and to put Adele as the DPL. I've put the names of the major characters and just listed the other readers in alphabetical order, in my usual style. Adele and Rachel also each have an editing credit. Did anyone else edit?

If that's all, I think we are finally ready for the catalogue!!

[annise]

I will get it catalogued as soon as I can but not immediately.

[Elizabby]

I hope you are having a good weekend! (I'm working but having some down time, and my cough is still awful so I can't record.)

[annise]

All done - please check that everything is OK

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/oliver-twist-version-5-dramatic-reading-by-charles-dickens/
