By the Great Horn Spoon!

Haven’t managed to do much recording lately, so here’s an older recording from my personal archives: “By The Great Horn Spoon!” by Sid Fleischman. It takes place during the California gold rush right where I used to live. I’ve been to lots of the towns they mention. Hope you like it!

The Little Engine That Could

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

New book! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. Who doesn’t love this story? And it’s one of the few books that has a movie version that doesn’t wreck the story entirely. I am speaking of the 2005 movie, which I like a lot; let us not mention the 1971 version, which I loathe…
