I have heard some VERY well done free books on Libravox. The best was the lady from Waco Texas who read “The Scarlet Pimpernel”. That is a challenging book because French accents are needed everywhere.
I always wanted to see someone do Disckens’ “Tale of Two Cities” as a mini-series (book is too long for a regular movie to do it justice).
There is a climactic scene where the English governess Miss Pross is physically holding the door shut against the very French Madame DeFarge to by time for an escape for her employers. Dickens simply states,
“Each spoke in her own language; neither understood the other’s words; both were very watchful, and intent to deduce from look and manner, what the unintelligible words meant.”
That would look great depicted in a well-done screen adpatation, with each one yelling in her own language.
You obviously meant the books that Bob recorded. :-)
Yes, they are quite wonderful.
