Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Dramatic Reading)

Action & Adventure, Dramatic Readings
Chapter: 37 | Listen: 6

Growing up on the banks of the Mississippi river, a mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer spends his days getting into one scrape after another. Tom’s constant cleverness, superstition, trickery, and daring make him a handful to raise, and his Aunt Polly declares that she has “never seen the beat of that boy!” Tom is essentially good-hearted, however, but when he is witness to a horrible crime, his courage and integrity are tested beyond anything he ever expected. A note to parents: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is considered a children’s classic, but contains racial slurs which, although “acceptable” in the time and place of the story’s setting, will likely offend modern listeners.

“I knew a man once, Maurice, who was at Oxford for three years, and after that went down with no degree. At College, while his friends were seeking for Truth in funny brown German Philosophies, Sham Religions, stinking bottles and identical equations, he was lying on his back in Eynsham meadows thinking of Nothing, and got the Truth by this parallel road of his much more quickly than did they by theirs; for the asses are still seeking, mildly disputing, and, in a cultivated manner, following the gleam, so that they have become in their Donnish middle-age a nuisance and a pest; while he–that other–with the Truth very fast and firm at the end of a leather thong is dragging her sliding, whining and crouching on her four feet, dragging her reluctant through the world, even into the broad daylight where Truth most hates to be.” – Hilaire Belloc [chương_files]

Adventures of Pinocchio (version 2)

Action & Adventure, Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales
Chapter: 36 | Listen: 4

Do today’s children still learn what a “marionette” is? The beloved story of Pinocchio may represent a last lingering picture of a world not dominated by plastic or electronic toys. Pinocchio is a puppet made from a piece of wood that curiously could talk even before being carved. A wooden-head he starts and a wooden-head he stays – until after years of misadventures caused by his laziness and failure to keep promises he finally learns to care about his family – and then he becomes a real boy. For those who have seen the Disney movie the cast of characters will be familiar, from the Talking Cricket (who acts as his conscience) to Lamp-Wick, his partner in truancy and having heedless fun. Though the toys of today are far from the puppet shows in Carlo Collodi’s book, his themes of being truthful, thoughtful, and dependable will always be timely. (Summary by Mark) [chương_files]
