Five Little Peppers and How They Grew, chapters 5 and 6
I had to replace my microphone (because I leapt up to stop a catfight outdoors with my headset on... because I am who I am) and I'm still not totally happy with the new one.
(what on earth is going on here?)

Five Little Peppers and How They Grew, chapters 1-4
To repeat salient points about what's going on here:
- I'm serializing some of my Librivox recordings here in my blog.
- I generally record two or three chapters from each book in a week.
- I won't be hurt if you never download these but I thought I'd put them here in case anyone felt like following along.
- For bandwidth reasons, please only download each file once (right-click and save, or whatever it is that you superior Mac people do to download a file from a link). And if I do end up running out of available bandwidth I'll simply stop posting these.
- Also please tell me if you hear mistakes/repeats as you go. If you know the minutes/seconds at which the mistake occurs, so much the better.
OK, on to the story. Five Little Peppers and How They Grew is a slightly treacly but overall nice children's story about a widowed mother and her five children, cheerfully and optimistically getting by on a shoestring in spite of sundry obstacles in the vicinity of the 1870's. It was published in 1881 by Margaret Sidney.
