I bought this for one euro from the local recycling center. It had once belonged to a small town library in the Eastern Finland - and I really don't know why it was purchased there in the first place! I'd guess no one had ever loaned it.There are two C-cassettes (and yes, I still have a C-cassette player) and a leaflet containing the four stories read aloud in the cassettes: Rob Kantner: "The Last Day", Nancy C. Swoboda: "Roomer Has It", Chet Williamson: "The Undertaker's Wedding" and Pauline C. Smith: "The Dog". The readers are William Hootkins and Barbara Rosenblat. The year is 1986.
There's just one problem: I don't usually have time to listen any audio books, so I guess I'll just read the stories.
More Forgotten Books here.
Looks like it's aimed at the adult (and in this case, probably teens, too) market hoping to improve their literacy...now, if you were a Yank, Juri, you'd listen to this in your car...of course, if you still have a Walkman device, you could listen on a train, as well...
ReplyDeleteYeah, audio books on CD are very popular here in Finland as well, people listen to them driving their cars, but I don't have even a driver's licence. But I do have a Walkman, so I guess I could go cycling and listen to these while pedalling.
ReplyDeleteThese are adult stories, not for kids or young teens. Roomer Has It in particular is superb. The Undertakers Wedding is also great. The other two not so much, although The Dog is quite creepy.
