Melodrama - Adventure

I'm coordinating a project at Librivox.org - a dramatic reading of The Perils of Pauline by Charles Goddard. There are lots of small parts available for people who want to try their hand at recording for the web. Join up at http://www.librivox.org/.

The Perils of Pauline is one of the first damsel in distress serials. The story is complete with undaunted hero, courageous damsel, unscrupulous villains galore, and other worldly interest. Before getting married, Pauline wants to experience the world and have adventures. When her guardian dies and leaves her an estate in trust of his secretary, adventures suddenly become more hazardous. Pauline charters aeroplanes, meets untrustworthy pirates, braves dangerous China Town, flies in a hot air balloon, adventures in the Wild West, encounters international spies, and escapes many other perils with the aid of her would-be fiancé, Harry, and an Egyptian mummy.

Dr. Seuss

What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Most people say "The Cat in the Hat." Mine is "To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street." I love the imagination run wild. Imagination has always been something I've valued. I'm considered creative. When I was little, less than 5, I once said that I wanted to grow up to be a Fire Engine. My family enjoys and supports creativity and my mother only encouraged these types of fancies. If you haven't read this book, check it out of the library.
