Living Books for the Ears:
Volume One
30 Great Stories from Classic Literature
come to life in the "Theater of the Mind" on this
extraordinary computer CD collection
Want your kids to develop a "taste" for great literature...
but just can't get them to sit down and read those "old books"?Do you desire some truly wholesome entertainment that the whole family can enjoy?
Look no further.... "Living Books For the Ears: Great Literature Volume One" is a collection of 30 truly wonderful adaptations of great books, short stories and poems from classic literature. These vivid, full cast dramatizations are from the classic old time radio show, "Family Theater" produced in Hollywood in the 1940s, starring many well known movie stars of the day. (The show's motto was "The family that prays together, stays together" -- try to find a show like that out of Hollywood today!)
This collection is a terrific way to introduce your kids to these classic tales. (And even if they DON'T 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, wholesome radio adaptations.
