Have you ever read Lovey Mary, or Mrs Wiggs and the Cabage Patch by Alice Caldwell Hagen. And another wonderful story is Mary Cary (Frequently Martha), by Kate Langley Bosher. I hope you can take a look at these treasures and consider reading them! Thank you so much!! Janet Price

Eight Cousins–actually love that one best of Alcott’s

And I know this one is still under copyright, but when we read Detectives in Togas as a family this spring, the kids all said they wished you would do a recording of that one. =)

James — yes, I’m afraid Pippi is still under copyright. Sorry :)

Thanks, Melissa, I didn’t know about that page. Very handy. Happy to see so many of my recordings listed there!

I’m imagining that you already know about this page but in case you don’t have a look. There is a section for each grade that states books that are in the public domain but not yet published.

Great suggestions, Elli! Nope, those are the only two William books that are PD. Isn’t that a shame? I adore William.
