Motive Games (13 +)

Phil Roland is sure his dad's death wasn't an accident. Too many people had hated him: some, because Dad had helped design a controversial FPS; and others, because he'd walked away with the rights to that game so a sequel could never be made. Now Phil's got a plan to prove Dad's fall down a flight of stairs was more than bad luck; but getting that proof means getting in at Motive Games.

Works in the public domain currently available for Narrator:

A Christmas Carol (8+)

Charles Dickens' much-loved "ghost story of Christmas in prose" dramatically unfolds in this masterful reading of the tale. And because this Christmas classic is presented via Narrator technology, those of us not entirely well-versed in Victorian English can instantly look up unfamiliar words by going into Dictionary mode and then tapping on those words.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (2+)

Clement C. Moore's poem of his Christmas Eve encounter with St. Nick has delighted young and old for close to a century. Christmas Narrator brings the story more fully to life for youngsters through animations of the book's original illustrations.

Story of the Nativity (2+)

The birth of the Christ-child as told in the Gospel of Luke (read here from William Tyndale's 16th century translation) is the beginning of what many feel to be the most powerful story of all times. This account of Jesus birth is enhanced by animations of works of Renaissance art on the theme of the nativity.

Call of the Wild (13+)

This bestselling story by Jack London takes place in the Klondike during the gold rush days of the 1890's. This wild and dangerous setting is described to us from the point of view of Buck, a cross St. Bernard/Collie who has been abducted from his comfortable home in California. Buck, fortunately, is a survivor who adapts to the brutal conditions he's confronted with, until at last he is ready to follow the 'call of the wild.'

The Tale of Peter Rabbit (3-7)

Looking for some tasty vegetable treats, Peter Rabbit, hops into Farmer MacGregor's garden–and finds far more than lettuces. Little ones meet Beatrix Potter's most beloved character in this classic tale. The Narrator version features Potter's original illustrations animated to accompany the Librivox recording.

Anne of Green Gables (9+)

To quote Mark Twain, "Anne of Green Gables is the sweetest creation of child life yet written." This first account by L.M. Montgomery of the young red-headed orphan, Anne Shirley, has touched millions of readers. Not only are the "high-strung" Anne, bashful Matthew, and fastidious Marilla, wonderfully engaging, the descriptions of life in late 19th century Prince Edward Island are absolutely enchanting.
