Description
Classic novels from the 19th and 20th centuries read aloud. All novels read are in the public domain. Those that include translations... I'll let you know when I get to them.
I started out with a familiar book (The Wind in the Willows) to get my bearings and figure out the process of podcasting. Then I planned on reading my way through the Pulitzer Prize-winning novels in the public domain. After reading the first three of them, I'm casting the net wider to include the very best literature and 19th and 20th century novels published prior to 1930.
I hope you enjoy listening to these amazing stories as much as I enjoy reading them to you!
Thanks so much for listening!
