About this listen

 Long before the age of radio, television, and digital media, public performances such as lectures, recitations, and readings played a crucial role in sharing new works and drawing attention to contemporary issues and authors. These gatherings were the social media of their time, serving as a platform for people to connect with the world around them while seeking entertainment. This anthology of short, humorous pieces serves as a valuable resource for anyone engaged in public performance, whether as a professional or within school and community settings. Each piece is crafted to be read aloud, shared, and enjoyed by an audience—echoing the mission of Librivox in today’s digital landscape. Featuring works from both renowned authors like J. M. Barrie (Peter Pan) and Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) as well as other writers whose star has faded, this collection promises laughter and joy for all who partake.
