Voice of E

I love reading to my kids. I know some parents do not have the time to read to their children, or have problems reading. So I am offering bedtime stories, all for free.

This story is The Bird “Grip” from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This is a story of a king, his three sons, a bird, and a fox. The king goes blind and needs the bird to get his sight back. The sons set out, one at a time, to get the bird. The first two are jerks and screw up, the third has a bunch of adventures, and screws up a lot, but a fox helps him and in the end he gets the bird and lives happily ever after.

This fairy tale is Rated PG. There is a psychotic innkeeper who likes to murder people, and the brothers attempt to murder the youngest son, plus there is a lot of stealing. But the good guys win!

It’s an all new audiobook. The Silent Bullet, by Arthur B. Reeve.

Follow the adventures of Professor Craig Kennedy and his assistant Walter Jameson as they track down criminals scientifically.

From Wikipedia:
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 – August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called “The American Sherlock Holmes,” and his Dr Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in eighteen detective novels. The bulk of Reeve’s fame is based on the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories came out in 1918; it reissued Reeve’s books-to-date as a matched set.

The first story takes its title from the book, it is called The Silent Bullet

This story is Peter Bull from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This is a story of an old farming couple who don’t have any children but do have money. They decide to adopt a beautiful calf as their son and pay a clerk to teach it to speak. Well, he takes their money, kills the calf, and tells them it ran off. They are sad. He hears of a man named Peter Bull in another town, tells them that this is the calf, and they go see him. Peter Bull decides that he likes them as parents and they all live happily ever after, except the calf.

This fairy tale is Rated PG. The clerk kills the calf and gets to keep the money! Geeze! At least it all turns out well for the nice but dumb couple.
