Stories that teach,
stories that rhyme,
are fun to read,
time after time!
Introduction
I and my brothers grew up listening to The Rhyme Bible and enjoying Toni Goffe’s hilarious illustrations. It’s a fun collection of Bible stories for children, written in lilting verse.
You can find a copy of The Rhyme Bible on the Internet Archive (ISBN 0-88070-829-8, published by Gold’n’Honey Books, 1996).
Recorded in 3 sessions on Friday, 19 Nov 2021, and edited after recording until 1900, for my niece to listen to in my absence.
I used the brilliant software mp3DirectCut to cut and splice the 320kbps master MP3 files without losing any quality, as it doesn’t re-encode. I corresponded with the software author, Mr. Martin Pesch, back in September 2021 and he very kindly fixed some bugs that I’d found, which helped a lot with my work on the first audiobook.
“First?”
Indeed. This is the 3rd audiobook I have recorded recently. The other two, Shakespeare Stories and A Pilgrim’s Progress, Retold will be re-published here shortly.
My voice recorder is an Olympus DM-670 I was given by a government grant for University in 2015ish (?) and which I used, on and off, to record lectures until the Head of Department sent a stroppy email to “everyone” in 2018, condemning the practice. It gathered dust for a while, then when I was alone and had no-one to read to, I started recording literature.
