Welcome to Kara's Free Audio Books! I've always enjoyed reading out loud, especially children's books, so I've decided to create free audio books for kids. Since I must choose books that are out of copyright, my selection is limited to books published before 1923 -- but there are still a lot of good ones to choose from. To subscribe to my podcast, click the iTunes button on the right, or paste this link into your podcatching software.

Back in August of 2008, Shell Crandall and I started a duet recording of a really excellent children’s history book, “The Story of Mankind.” We alternated chapters. The day after we got to Canada, Shell finished up her last few recordings, Anna proofed them, and I did the cataloging, so this fabulous book is ready for you to download!

I listened to it over and over for about three days straight, while napping upstairs in Montreal. Very soothing. If you like to read along while listening, you can get the plain-jane text at Project Gutenberg, read along with an illustrated e-text at mainlesson.com, or, best of all, buy the lovely thick paperback reprint with original illustrations from Yesterday’s Classics!
I’ll probably put this book up in my podcast feed when “The Adventures of Sally” is finished. I really think everyone will enjoy it.

01 Sally Gives a Party - 00:39:06
This is not actually a children’s book, but it won’t do the little ones any harm and I think the tweens and teens will like it!
This romantic comedy stars a young American girl named Sally, who inherits a considerable fortune and finds her life turned upside down. The typically Wodehouseian cast includes Sally’s ambitious brother, an assortment of theater people, a pair of English cousins, and, of course, an Uncle.
I’ll post another chapter next Monday.
