Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell - All his life he had been searching for the big strike. But always he had failed. Now he had come to Mars—his last chance. This had to be—Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell. Author Dick Purcell wrote six published stories in 1955 and 1956. His name might ring a bell, Dick Purcell appeared in more than 70 TV shows and movies in the 1930s and 1940s, but that was a different Dick Purcell. The author was born in 1908, the actor in 1905. As is frequently the case with early sci-fi authors we don’t know anything else about him. Peruse the pages of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1956 and you will discover Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell.Zum Buch
"Five talented narrators knit together the stories of five children from different countries who settle in the same Lower East Side apartment building. Listeners meet Jenny Epstein, author Weinstein's grandmother, whose Russian Jewish family lived in the building in the 1910s and whose story is sensitively told by Eva Kaminsky. Successive generations include Italian American Anna Cozzi in the 1930s, warmly depicted by Carlotta Brentan; Dominican American José Marte in the 1960s, conveyed with delighted wonder by Robert Jimenez; Puerto Rican Maria Torres in the 1980s, animatedly portrayed by Desiree Rodriguez; and Wei Ye in the present day, whose lively curiosity is beautifully depicted by Albert M. Chan. The production is enhanced by original music, evocative sound effects, and Weinstein's heartfelt narration of her afterword." AudioFile MagazineZum Buch
A delightful version of Alice's Adventures following that scurrying Rabbit with the watch that is shortened for the enjoyment of younger children. She meets all of the strange talking animals (and they are just as rude or silly as usual) and eats and drinks from all of the bottles and grows and shrinks alarmingly just like in the longer version. Enjoy.Zum Buch
