We've packed over 50 wonderful AUDIO DRAMATIZATIONS
of classic books, short stories, and historical adventures
into this new computer CD collection, just for you! It is a rich, overflowing
"audio library" of many, many hours of satisfying, educational and entertaining
audio adventures for the whole family!
This collection is a terrific way to introduce your kids
to these great authors and their work. (Even if they NEVER ever sit down
and read all these classics, they WILL know what the stories are all about!)
But everyone, young OR old, will enjoy listening to these excellent radio
adaptations of these classic tales:
First, this
collection includes a special selection of stories from one of the world's
best known writers:
Few
names in literature are as well-known or as beloved as that of Charles
Dickens (1812 - 1870). His rich stories and wonderful characters are still
loved and enjoyed today. Dickens authored fifteen major novels and several
short stories during his lifetime, with the inspiration for many of these
based on his own life and experience in Victorian England. Many of these
were faithfully adapted for radio in years gone by, and are included in
this collection. These are great stories!
Full
hour adaptations of the classic Dickens novels:
A
Tale of Two Cities (2 different versions!)
The
Pickwick Papers (2 different versions!)
Oliver
Twist
Great
Expectations
David
Copperfield
The
Mystery of Edwin Drood
(Dickens'
unfinished final novel)
A
Christmas Carol (Ebenezer Scrooge)
Plus
dramatizations of Dickens' lesser known but fascinating short stories:
The
Signalman (a creepy ghost story!)
Dr.
Manette's Manuscript
The
Trial for Murder
The
Queer Client
Hunted
Down
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
by Victor Hugo
Next, your kids will thrill to a remarkable 30-episode
serialization of Victor Hugo's classic novel, originally broadcast on Australian
radio way back in 1934! A faithful adaptation of the original novel in
excellent sound quality, each episode is approximately 12 minutes long.
This serial would make a GREAT daily "classic literature" lesson or end-of-the-day
"reward" for a six week stretch! Don't miss it!
Plus...
"The War of the Worlds" (1 hour
version)
by H. G. Wells
(yes, this is the infamous broadcast
that panicked America in 1938)

Great half hour episodes!
Ready
to stretch your mind, learn all sorts of fascinating facts, and be completely
amazed by a bunch of kids? The Quiz Kids was a delightful question and
answer radio show, featuring five brilliant (and witty) kids under age
12 answering questions submitted by listeners and academics. Third-grade
dropout Joe Kelly was wonderful as the slow-witted master of ceremonies.
The children received a $100 savings bond for each appearance and the best
of them returned for repeat performances. Highly praised for its educational
value by parents and teachers alike, the show ran from 1940 to 1953 and
is still a delight to listen to today. We especially enjoy these when driving
around on errands or as light, relaxing listening while working in the
kitchen, etc. You'll be amazed at what you learn!
8 Episodes!
Narrated by storyteller "Uncle York", this neat series
of 15 minute shows dramatized historical incidents from New York State.
Produced by the New York State Department of Commerce in the 1940s, these
down-home, warm and witty stories are a great way to discover some little
known history both of the state and country.
The Flying Piano
Test Tube Giant
The Little Black Box
The Little Jars of Canjoharie
The Fire Eaters
Front Yard Fleet
The Iron Hearted Mountain
Look at the Birdie
12 Episodes of this unique history
program!
Finally, we've included a DOZEN episodes of this neat
little syndicated 5-minute series from the 1930s, much in the vein of Paul
Harvey's "The Rest of the Story". Narrator Knox Manning tells a little
known but true "behind the scenes" story about an unnamed historical figure.
Can you figure out WHO the story is about before the narrator reveals their
identity? (Pause the story and talk about the clues -- and see if you and
your kids can come up with an answer! Warning: Some of these are tough!)
A great guessing game, and a unique way to learn some fascinating history.
But wait... that's not all!

BACK OF
THE MIKE
Yes, we've even included a great short movie featurette
on this CD! Ever wonder how they made the great old radio shows we offer?
You'll find out when you watch this great 1938 film offering an insider's
view of a vintage radio studio, and the production of a dramatic radio
show. A boy lies on his bed at home (wearing a white shirt and a necktie!),
listening to a radio western. We see the images the radio creates in his
mind, then we see the studio, where we find that this whole fantasy world
is created at a frantic pace by announcers in three-piece suits and sound-effects
technicians operating incredibly complicated jury-rigged devices. A very
entertaining, fascinating look at what went on behind the mike when radio
was young. (MPG format, 10 minutes)
