  • Wouldbegoods (Version 2 Dramatic Reading)-E. Nesbit
    2026/08/16
    Do you believe in magic? Caroline, Charles, and Charlotte certainly do, and their summer holiday at their great uncles house only strengthens that belief. There, they stumble upon a magical garden and some ancient books, leading to adventures that may not sit well with the adults. E. Nesbit masterfully whisks us back to the nostalgic summer days of a privileged Edwardian childhood, infused with whimsy, humor, and valuable life lessons. Celebrating its 100th anniversary, this lesser-known childrens classic has been out of print for years, with no digital text available at the time of recording. While it may reflect the eras outdated norms, its charm remains irresistible. As Gore Vidal aptly noted ...though a reading of E. Nesbit is hardly going to change the pattern of a nation, there is some evidence that the child who reads her will never be quite the same again, and that is probably a good thing. (Introduction by Ruth Golding) Please note that the reading is from a personal copy of the 1911 first edition.
