Daddy-Long-Legs by JEAN WEBSTER abridged in five parts by EVANGELINE BANKS
Read by Marian Diamond (1)
A lot of things have changed since this book was written in 1912. It's unlikely that you'd find such an orphanage as the John Grier Home, and women now have the vote in America. But the charm of this romantic story is still as fresh as ever, and though things may change, people and feelings don'.

In Real Life by BENITO PEREZ GALD6s translated by NICHOLAS ROUND
His supporters hailed him as .' the Spanish Ibsen;' his detractors thought him immoral and a bad influence - the celebrated novelist was 50 when he turned to drama and brought a new humanity and realism to the Spanish stage. Realidad, first performed in 1892 and based on one of his own novels, concerns the hypocrisy of the accepted social attitudes of the time, and the inner struggles of those forced to live by them.
