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?
Our Island Story by H.E. Marshall
The Little Duke by Charlotte Yonge
The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle
Otto of the Silver Hand by Howard Pyle
Men of Iron by Howard Pyle
When Knights Were Bold by Eve March Tappan
The Dragon and the Raven by G.A. Henty
Famous Men of the Middle Ages by John Haaren
Fifty Famous Stories Retold by James Baldwin
Viking Tales by Jennie Hall
Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare by Edith Nesbit
King of the Golden River by John Ruskin
The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling
King Arthur and His Knights by Maude Radford
I have heard that not all recordings are as inspiring as others but we'll give it a shot.
