Librivox

We are studying Medieval history this year and I would like to utilize Librivox more so that we can listen to literature while we work with our hands in the kitchen. (One of my boys has much, much better retention when he is doing something with his body while he listens- you can probably guess....) Librivox is a free digital library of free audiobooks read by volunteers. Here is a compilation of resources that we will be using. We probably won't get to all of these but who knows?

The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle

I have heard that not all recordings are as inspiring as others but we'll give it a shot.
