Liminality? Well transgressing boundaries…

February 11, 2011 tim No comments

I do not like boundaries. (Well except the ones I erect to keep the animals in ;) It is fun to cross borders, things are different on the other side. Travel broadens the mind. So, for my latest Librivox reading I’ve tried two of La Lontaine’s Fables both from book 9. Both were fun, and [...]

Just So Stories

April 19, 2010 tim 4 comments

One of my hobbies is reading for Librivox. I’ve just finished what (I think) is the first/only complete audio book of Kipling’s Just So Stories to contain not only the stories, poems, and picture descriptions, but also the 13th story (see below). I have also written a blurb for the book. Can any one suggest [...]

Request for help

April 13, 2010 tim No comments

I am recording the Just So Stories for Librivox, and I want to make this the most full and complete audio version of the book ever. So, I have included the 13th story, that was in the first US edition, but left out of most later ones (superstition?), and Kipling’s entertaining descriptions of the pictures [...]
