    MP3 CD (IDB Productions, March 15, 2017)
    The Boxcar Children is the tale of four strayed kids, namely, Henry, Jessie or Jess, Violet, and Benny. In the 1924 edition of the story, the kids are left alone in the first short chapters and in the comprehensively revised and abridged 1942 edition, they have apparently been left without parents for quite some time. When a baker and his wife came to know that the kids have no parents, they create strategies the kids do not concur. In the 1924 version, they plot to bring the kids, who stay in a home next to their bakery, to reside with their grandfather, but the kids have been made to be afraid of their grandfather, whom they have in no way seen, because he did not consent to the marriage of their parents. In the 1942 edition, the kids are at that time living without a home and meandering everywhere at the beginning of the tale. The baker and his wife devise to bring the three older kids, who are mature enough to be of use in the bakery, but to take the youngest kid, Benny to a Children's Home. Gertrude Chandler Warner was an American writer, mostly of tales for children. She was best known for drafting the original story of The Boxcar Children and for the following 18 stories in the series. Gertrude was born in Putnam, Connecticut, to her parents Edgar Morris Warner and Jane Elizabeth Carpenter Warner. Her family counted in an elder sister, Frances, and a younger brother, John.

Her father Edgar Warner had finished studying at Harvard Law School in 1872 and became a lawyer in Putnam, CT. The Warner's residence on Main Street was situated around from the railroad station.

  • At Agincourt - White Hoods of Paris

    G. A. Henty

    MP3 CD (IDB Productions, Sept. 3, 2016)
    Chivalry and Adventure at Its Best in At Agincourt – White Hoods of Paris A story of courage and chivalry placed in a time when heroes wore armor and fought valiantly on the battlefield, facing their adversaries and always comingout on top, White Hoods of Paris is an enchanting tale full of intrigue and powerful lessons about coming of age and facing the harshest difficulties of life with great success.Guy Aylmer, a 17 year old man-at-arms, who, together with his lord, Sir Eustace–a knight with allegiances both in France and England, quickly became second in command serving in the defense of Sir Eustace's English castle. After repelling an attack from supporters of the Duke of Orleans, however, Sir Eustace's brave men realize that everything is not as it seems, and a precarious, volatile political situation ensues where clever plans and intelligence become just as important as courage, and it becomes difficult to even see what the future will bring as you slowly become completely immersed in this exciting medieval tale.George Alfred Henty, a skilled writer, as well as a war correspondent, is the perfect man for the job of authoring a thrilling tale of this magnitude. At Agincourt – White Hoods of Paris is considered one of his most successful novels, and even though it was written in 1897, well after the times of the 100 Year War, or Sir Eustace and Guy Aylmer's adventures, the book will undoubtedly manage to bring that enchanting and exciting world to life as soon as you begin reading it.Henty's impressive career as an author was at its peak at the time when At Agincourt was written, and his masterful style and ability to effortlessly portray complex, evolving characters and plot developments, becomes obvious once you progress through this engaging read.

  • Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare

    Edith Nesbit

    MP3 CD (IDB Productions, Sept. 3, 2017)
    A 1907 fiction compilation by E. Nesbit with the purpose of amusing little children and narrating Shakespeare's theatricals in a style they can clearly decipher. She encompassed a short life account of William Shakespeare, a verbalized reference to many of the hard-to-pronounce sobriquets and some magnificent aphorisms. These Beautiful Stories of Shakespeare consists of: A Midsummer Night's Dream; The Tempest; As You Like It; The Winter's Tale; King Lear; Twelfth Night; Much Ado About Nothing; Romeo and Juliet; Pericles; Hamlet; Cymbeline; Macbeth; The Comedy of Errors; The Merchant of Venice; Timon of Athens; Othello; The Taming of the Shrew; Measure for Measure; Two Gentlemen of Verona; and All's Well That Ends Well. In the baptismal records of the church of Stratford-upon-Avon, a marketplace in Warwickshire, England, stated, that on April 26, 1564 is the date of baptism of William Shakespeare to his father John Shakspeare. The baptism is recorded in Latin —"Gulielmus filius Johannis Shakspeare." His date of birth has taken place 3 days prior to his baptismal, however, this is yet to be proven. The last name was differently spelled, the playwright himself not often spelled it as stated in his records. The record implies that his last name is spelled as Shakspeare, in many original signatures of the playwright it is spelled as Shakspere, and in the first publication of his books it is written as Shakespeare. Halliwell said that there are not more than 34 ways in which the diverse members of the family of Shakespeare ascribe the appellation, and in the council-book of the corporation of Stratford, where it is presented 166 times through those times when the playwright’s father was municipal official, there are 14 distinct spellings. The contemporary Shakespeare is not listed.
