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 King Lindorm from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This story is about a King and Queen who want kids. An old woman will help if the queen follows her instructions, but she screws it up and give birth to a snake and a beautiful child. Snank goes out the window, child gets to be a prince. Snake eats people, turns into another prince, marries beautiful princess, becomes king, and then goes off to war. Can they overcome the treachery of the wicked stepmother? What happened to the other prince?

This fairy tale is Rated PG-13 . For multiple murders, evil stepmother, suggestive sexy things, and the like. I mean really, nobody cares they the snake ate a whole slew of maidens before he got turned back into a human?

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.

This Story is called The Black Hand. A girl is kidnapped. Gennaro, the great Tenor, is beside himself for worry for his daughter. He asks Kennedy for help. Kennedy suspects “The Black Hand”, the notorious criminals who some might know as the Mafia. Can Kennedy save the girl, save her father, and save the money too?

This story is The Merry Wives from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This story is about 3 wives who each boast about how stupid their husbands are. When the price of a pint goes up, they decide to have a contest to see who has the stupidest husband. The winner would be able to drink free from then on. They then proceed to play tricks on each of their husbands. Who will turn out to be the stupidest?

This fairy tale is Rated G. It’s funny, although as a husband I am horribly offended.
