Fall of the Nibelungs
The Fall of the Nibelungs unveils the haunting tale of the Nibelungenlied, masterfully translated into plain prose by Margaret Armour from the middle high German. This poetic saga, believed to have been penned around 1200, draws inspiration from the tragic fate of the Burgundians, a Germanic tribe, decimated in 436 by Huns hired by the Roman general Flavius Aëtius. As the gripping introduction to the 1908 edition states, “the discord of two women” ignites a chain of events leading to treachery and murder, ultimately engulfing a land in ashes and erasing an entire race. This is a story of passion, betrayal, and the dire consequences that unfold, making it a compelling listen for those who dare to delve into its depths. Summary by Phil Schempf. Dedicated proof-listeners Carolin Ksr & DaveC.

Humorous Readings and Recitations
Long before the age of radio, television, and digital media, public performances such as lectures, recitations, and readings played a crucial role in sharing new works and drawing attention to contemporary issues and authors. These gatherings were the social media of their time, serving as a platform for people to connect with the world around them while seeking entertainment. This anthology of short, humorous pieces serves as a valuable resource for anyone engaged in public performance, whether as a professional or within school and community settings. Each piece is crafted to be read aloud, shared, and enjoyed by an audience—echoing the mission of Librivox in today’s digital landscape. Featuring works from both renowned authors like J. M. Barrie (Peter Pan) and Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) as well as other writers whose star has faded, this collection promises laughter and joy for all who partake. (DrPGould)
Bab Ballads
The Bab Ballads is a delightful collection of light verse crafted by the talented W. S. Gilbert, featuring his own whimsical comic illustrations. Written before he gained fame for his iconic comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan, these Ballads showcase Gilberts innovative topsy-turvy style, where absurd premises lead to hilariously logical consequences. Infused with his signature cynicism and sharp satire, the Ballads not only captivated audiences on their own but also served as a rich source for characters, plot elements, and songs that would later appear in Gilbert and Sullivans operas. The title Bab Ballads pays homage to Gilberts childhood nickname, under which he would later sign his charming illustrations.

Sherlock Holmes Short Stories
http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500+ audiobooks, all ad free
Although the Sherlock Holmes canon traditionally consists of four novels and 56 short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, there are many Sherlock Holmes stories outside the canon. Most of these noncanonical stories were written by authors other than Doyle, but there are four short stories about Holmes written by Doyle that are nonetheless excluded from the canon, for various reasons. This album consists of these four noncanonical stories. The first story, "The Field Bazaar", was first published in 1896 in a special issue of a University of Edinburgh student newspaper called The Student. Doyle wrote this very brief story to support a fundraising event at the university, his alma mater, but most scholars consider the story to be a parody and therefore not part of the canon. The second and third stories, "The Lost Special" and "The Man with the Watches", were both published in The Strand Magazine in 1898 and both feature mysteries involving trains. These two stories are not part of the canon because neither story mentions Holmes by name, although literary scholars have proposed that the unnamed "amateur reasoner" in "The Lost Special" and the unnamed "well-known criminal investigator" in "The Man with the Watches" are intended to be Holmes, and this theory is accepted for the purposes of this LibriVox album. Doyle wrote the fourth story, "How Watson Learned the Trick", for a miniature book that was placed in Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a dollhouse built for Queen Mary in the 1920s that housed a tiny library featuring works by several famous authors of the day, the contents of which were published in 1924 for public consumption. Considered a companion piece to "The Field Bazaar" due to both stories consisting entirely of conversations between Holmes and Watson over breakfast, "How Watson Learned the Trick" is similarly excluded from the canon on the grounds of being a parody.
