Bedtime Stories With Laurie Mack: Recent Episodes
Laurie Mack
I have been dreaming of this podcast channel since 2015, and it has finally become a reality. Bedtime Stories, although not a unique podcast idea (as there are probably about 100 others out there - give or take 50), is one that is dear to my heart.My stories don't have the movie quality intros or out-tros, or glamour that many of the other channels do. it is just me, reading stories to you. Period.If you want to take a chance on a simple, no glitz perspective on classic children's literature, then I welcome you to join me as I endeavor to breathe new life into stories that were created as much as 125 years ago.Thank you for spending your time with me.Enjoy!

My apologies for the long delay in our story. I have been fighting a cold and my voice has just been - well at times, non-existent! Bear with me as we trudge forward into our story. My voice is not 100% yet but I do not want to delay any longer.
Thank you so much for your support and listening.

The audio on this is not up to my typical standard as it was done outside of my home studio. Please forgive the slight echo and passing bus noises. I didn't want to wait to get this out to you until I could get home to record! So let's go!

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
Wrap up
This has been such a joy to share with you. I had no idea how deeply the characters in this book were ingrained in our culture, from numerous adaptions, movies, radio programs, web series, etc. I believe it safe to say that this book is a favorite all over the world.
Thank you so much for listening.
On with the adventure!
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
Published in 1877 contains 4 Parts and 49 chapters
All finished up, and what a story! I enjoyed his so much! Aside from the language differences here and there, you can definitely tell this was written in a different time period. And, as we know from the brief introduction to the story, Anna Sewell used this story to bring awareness to the plight of working animals. She had difficulty walking from the time she was a small child, resulting from an accident in which she broke both of her ankles (which did not heal properly) and she spent a good deal of time in a horse drawn buggy. She experienced many of the situations that we see in the story but I wonder if she ever spoke out. I think maybe she didn't and Black Beauty was her way of speaking out to those who treat their animals badly.
During the final chapter I really had to focus to keep my voice steady as I was getting emotional. Partly because we were coming to the end of our journey, and partly due to the happiness I was feeling that Black Beauty had come to a wonderful place that he could live out the rest of his life in peace and comfort.
Thank you so much for listening, this was an absolute joy to share with you.
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
