The End of a Great Life AUTHOR James Baldwin (1841 - 1925) was a pioneer of primary education, a teacher for many years and eventually an administrator and finally Editor-in-Chief of the American Book Company, specializing in educational text. James Baldwin's lasting fame is for the children's literature he wrote, over 50 books, selling in the millions. COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Four Great Americans Four Famous Americans is an audiobook by author James Baldwin, read by Bobbie Frohman and David Thorn, produced by Alcazar AudioWorks. The four Americans are Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Daniel Webster, and George Washington. Each CD is approximately an hour in length, bookmarked every 3 minutes for an easy return to the story after a break. The story of Abraham Lincoln begins at the beginning, in Kentucky. His family was a pioneer family that lived off the land. Abe's childhood impacted the kind of man he was to become: determined, honest, and willing to speak his mind. Each chapter focuses on a portion of Lincoln's life. As a young man, he spent time on a trading barge and visited New Orleans where he was introduced to the horrors of slavery. He returned home with the desire to change his life and the lives of others. It was then that he began studying to become a lawyer. Not long after that, he started running for various public office and, as we all know, he eventually won the Presidency. Benjamin Franklin was a character his whole life. He was the youngest of sixteen children and, because he was the youngest, his father was able to send him to grammar school. There young Ben learned that he loved reading and writing, but not mathematics. Later in his life, Benjamin Franklin became a printer, newspaper entrepreneur, and advocate for the new nation, the United States. Without his diplomatic skills, the colonies would have had a more difficult time breaking away from England. The third disk features Daniel Webster, from new Hampshire. The son of Revolutionary fighter and judge Ebenezer Webster, Daniel Webster was the ninth child of ten and the youngest boy in the family. Fortune had smiled on the family by the time Daniel was of school age, so his parents were able to send him to school. Daniel learned to read very young; in fact, neighbors came from far and wide to hear him read. Eventually, Judge Webster decided to send Daniel to Exeter Academy. With much study, he soon became a good scholar and at the head of his class in spite of his classmates, who were gentlemen's sons and cruel to this boy from humble means. Often Daniel Webster cried from the treatment he received at the hands of these young men. Still, he excelled academically, first at Exeter Academy, then with a private tutor, and later at Dartmouth College where he became a great orator. During his lifetime, Webster served as a Congressman and a famous lawyer before he eventually retired to the country, where he continued speaking as a patriot and advocate for the peaceful prosperity he believed each American should have. George Washington's life began in Virginia where bpth black and white slaves were common in Virginia and most items were homemade. Though his older, half brothers were well-educated at Appleby's in England, George was taught by Mr. Williams, a white slave owned by George's father because he had been too poor to pay for his passage to America. Mr. Washington had Mr. Williams educate his son in reading, writing, arithmetic, and land surveying. This surveyor later, as everyone knows, served outstandingly in the army and then as the United State's first President, and his service didn't end when he retired from office; he continued to advise Congress on various issues because so many people admired him. Every chapter holds some wonderful quote or anecdote about its famous American. Listening to these stories at home or in the car will give children many wonderful stories about these four famous Americans to share with friends and family.

Set and written in 1726, This is a marvelously imaginative tale of the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver. He finds himself shipwrecked and the prisoner of captors ranging in size from 6 inches tall to 60 feet tall and of various other persuasions. But this is just the beginning of a story written, strangely enough to satirize the foolishness and vices of modern men as they were perceived at the time. No one, young or old, can ever forget the Lilliputians and the Yahoos that starred in these wonderful and riveting stories of long ago. AUTHOR Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish novelist, satirist, poet and political essayist. From a very literary family, his uncle married the daughter of a godson of William Shakespeare, Swift was very well educated, receiving an MA from Oxford University and a Doctorate in Divinity from Trinity College in Dublin. An ordained priest in the Established Church of Ireland, Swift began writing satire, inspired by his misery in his profession. Politically active, Swift incurred the enmity of enough British nobles, that his career as a minister was over. Swift began writing novels, while also writing political phamphlets promoting Irish causes. Swift's best know work, Gulliver's Travels is filled with satiric references to his current events, and was an immediate hit, written anomously, it had to be smuggled into Ireland. The Queen was not amused. COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Gulliver's Travels Terrific Narration, Very interesting story Written about 300 years ago this story has aged very well and Gulliver's adventures are event today very entertaining. Gulliver's Travels was meant to mock the hordes of books about adventurous travels released at the time which often exaggerated the dangers faced and the belitteled the intellect of the natives encountered. And so Gulliver meets giants, tiny people, horses which rule over men and people living on a floating island. In addition to the entertainment value these episodes hold it is also very interesting to see how critical Jonathan Swift was of English society and values. This criticism is never voiced by the main character directly, but surface through the discussions Gulliver has with the people he meets. The Audiobook version published by Alcazar AudioWorks features a terrific Narrator which makes the story a joy to listen to. Listener Review - Audible.com This book is written with wonderful prose and read by a very talented narrator. When I first started the book it was a wonder to sit back and just listen. The story is very imaginative as well. This must be a very early example of the fantasy genre. Listener Review - Audible.com This is one of those books that people love to talk about but never actually read. At most they read the cliff notes version but let me tell you, you're really missing out on a jewel if you do. The unabridged version is the only way to go and this one does an excellent job. It leaves you with conversational pieces, insight into humanity and culture that you would not have had otherwise. Not to mention that just sticking with the abridged or cliff notes you get the ""official"" interpretation but you lose the opportunity to think for your self on the dilemmas presented. The story basically follows the adventures of one guy who ends up shipwrecked on 3 different islands and with each island is presented with a unique situation. One where he ends up a giant, one where he ends up a miniature and one...well...you'll just have to find that one out for yourself. Listener Review - Audible.com I had to do a school project about Gulliver's Travels, so naturally audible was my go-to destination. At a low price and high quality, this version was a life-saver! The narrator did a wonderful job bringing Swift's witty social commentary to life, and is (in my opinion anyway) one of the best readers of this book. If you thought you knew Gulliver, get ready for delightful new discoveries, from the flying island of Laputa, to the island of the Houyhnhnms. With remarks just as pointed today as they were when this book was first written over 300 years ago. If you're ready to travel with Gulliver, this is the version you want!
