simka2 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 list of online accessible audio books? I have started searching Librivox, but it is quicklu becoming a daunting task. Or, what are your favorite middle ages audio books, that are availble online? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 We haven't started the Middle Ages yet, but I've been thinking about what books to download from librivox as well. Definitely on the list will be Famous Men of the Middle Ages, Story of the Middle Ages, Heroes of the Middles Ages, and Manners, Customs and Dress. I know some people here don't like Henty's books, and although I've never read one yet to DD, we may listen to a few of his books set in each time period. Here are some for the Middle Ages available on librivox.org. In Freedom's Cause At Agincourt St. George for England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I forgot about King Arthur! I'm not sure which one as there a few on librivox, but Stories of King Arthur's Knights told to Children looks good. This version by a different author may have more mature content. I would have to listen to a few chapters to see whether it would be appropriate for DD. Here is another one King Arthur and his Knights book. There is a version told to children by Henry Gilbert but it's still a work-in-progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Even though we're not in the Middle Ages yet, we have started to listen to Fifty Famous Stories Retold and DD loves it! You're right - there's a lot of free audiobooks out there. It's exciting since I haven't found as many for the Ancient Times. Also, I think we listened to Stories of Beowulf told to Children last year, but I don't quite remember the reaction. Maybe we should have waited until actually studying the Middles Ages.

karensk Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 When we did the medieval period a few years ago, I made an Excel spreadsheet of a bunch of resources, with over 30 hyperlinks to things like the online books and free audiobooks on librivox. There might be a few things out of date and other things I just missed, but I'd be happy to email to anyone who wants it. Just let me know (email or PM)! (I'm about to go back to work, so it might be later tonight before I can send anything.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
