Read by Denny Sayers.
Denny’s reading of “Robinson Crusoe Written Anew for Children” is a great introduction to some of our children’s literature at LibriVox. He does a great job drawing the listener into the story.

Read by Kristin LeMoine (Luoma).
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad has been interperted many different ways since its publication in 1899. It has been the inspiration for T.S.

In The Prince and the Pauper, Twain switches the place of Prince Edward of England with […]

Read by Peter Yearsley.
This week’s focus is on our poetry, and Peter Yearsley’s reading of the Lament of the Irish Emigrant is a great example of a heartfelt reading from our first poetry collection.
