  First published in 1876, The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits is one of Lewis Carroll’s most delightful and mysterious works of nonsense literature. 
  A peculiar crew of ten unlikely adventurers sets sail on a strange expedition to hunt the elusive Snark. Led by the confident Bellman and guided only by a completely blank map, their journey takes them through curious landscapes filled with odd creatures, baffling logic, and playful absurdity. Yet beneath the humor lies a quiet tension, for rumor has it that the Snark may actually be something far more dangerous—a Boojum. 
  Blending whimsy, satire, and imaginative wordplay, Carroll crafts a poetic adventure that has fascinated readers for generations. Both humorous and haunting, the poem invites listeners into a world where logic bends, language dances, and the unexpected waits just beyond the fog. 
  Beautifully narrated by Clare Staniforth, this classic work of Victorian nonsense comes vividly to life for modern listeners. 
  This audiobook is part of the Certified Human Voice™ catalog — performed entirely by a real human narrator, celebrating authentic storytelling and the enduring art of voice performance.

  Dear Land of Flowers, forgive me! -- that I tookThese snatches from thy glittering wealth of song, And twisted to the uses of a book Strains that to alien harps can na'er belong. Thy gems shine purer in their native bed Concealed, beyond the pry of vulgar eyes; And there, through labyrinths of language led, The patient student grasps the glowing prize. Yet many, in their race toward other goals, May joy to feel, albeit at second-hand, Some far faint heart-throb of poetic souls Whose breath makes incense in the flowery Land. Introductory poem by H.A.G.

  Short Story Press Presents Chest...

  An aged, decrepit old woman wanders the quiet hallways of her home. She remembers a day when they were brighter…more kinetic with anticipation of life within their walls. Family was a regular occurrence and the tinkling laughter of grandchildren used to echo through the house. Oh how she missed those times as she now hobbles oh-so-slowly with her cane through the archaic old home. And as the old woman wanders reminiscing through the halls, she comes upon a door; rusty hinges amplify groan of age as the door swings slowly open and she balances herself in the doorway. 
  The old woman discovers a chest…an antique old cedar chest that is very large, and her breath catches briefly as her heart thumps in her own body. The chest has sparked a memory and she releases the door jam and using her cane for support, the woman shambles over to the massive trunk with anticipation in her eyes. 
  It had been near eighty-five years after all, since she’d seen what was in the trunk and she could barely remember, though it called out to her in the otherwise empty room. Now, it took her what seemed like a very long time to reach it, and when she did, her weakened old body fell against it for support. She fumbled with the latch as her gnarled and arthritic hands fought against what it was she desired, but finally…she was able to snap the hasp upward, releasing the lock on the trunk. 
  What she discovered inside was not just a memory; what she discovered was a living, breathing catalyst that grasped her firmly in its grips and propelled her back in time. The old woman discovered herself in the midst of her childhood friends; a child again herself, she caught the jump rope chant on the wind…

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 12 recordings of A New Arrival by George W. Cable. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 17th, 2010."The New Arrival" is a valuable poem because it expresses the joy of a young father over his new baby. If girls should be educated to be good mothers, so should boys be taught that fatherhood is the highest and holiest joy and right of man. The child is educator to the man. He teaches him how to take responsibility, how to give unbiased judgments, and how to be fatherly like "Our Father who is in Heaven." (1844-.) (introduction to 'A New Arrival' from Poems Every Child Should Know by Mary E. Burt  ed.)
