Audiobooks: Fiction, Poetry, & Drama
I am a believer in the beauty and utility of audiobooks. (It helps that I drive about an hour a day.) Humans spoke and told stories before they wrote. Homer sang or chanted. Your experience of a story may be enhanced or transformed by listening to a skilled artist bring to life. I cannot imagine reading Alexander McCall Smith's wonderful No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels, because the amazing Lisette Lecat, a South African actress, has given them life inside my head with her singular readings. If you love the experience of being read to, here are some of our carefully chosen titles. If you want books to be delivered in an old and an always new way, try an audiobook soon. (Success and technological parameters have driven me to divide our audiobooks into two pages. Be sure to browse our audiobook-nonfiction as well.)
The Lone Ranger Rides
The Lone Ranger Rides
At last - the Lone Ranger appears here for the first time in full-length fiction form. The Lone Ranger Rides is a rip-roaring yarn of the old West that tells how this national hero first became the Lone Ranger; how he acquired his horse, Silver; and how he first met his faithful Indian, Tonto. By Fran Striker. Performed by Jeff Wiens.
