The Child of the Moat

The Child of the Moat by Ian B. Stoughton Holborn

The Child of the Moat by Ian B. Stoughton Holborn

Ian Holborn (professor of archaeology and a writer) was on board the RMS Lusitania when it was torpedoed, and as it sank he rescued a 12 year old girl named Avis Dolphin. She later complained that books for girls were not very interesting, so he decided to write one for her “as thrilling as any book written for boys!” This book is dedicated to her.

From the Preface: This story is not written for grown-ups, and if they want to know why it begins with such a gruesome first chapter, let them ask the children. Children like the horrors first and the end all bright. Many grown-ups like the tragedy at the end. But perhaps the children are right and the grown-ups are standing on their heads.

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable by J.C. Gorham

Alice in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable by J.C. Gorham

The well known and delightful tale of Alice in Wonderland but retold in simpler language. All the characters are there, even the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. Note that even though the title says ‘words of one syllable’, there are quite a few two and even multiple syllable words which the author divides into smaller bites by using dashes. Don’t let this bother you. The book is well written and would be an excellent choice for all listeners or those for whom English is not their first language.
