Sandman's Hour-Abbie Phillips Walker

Short Science Fiction Collection 044.Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination.Featured on Anthem - Ayn Rand.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Art of Story-Telling, with nearly half a hundred stories by Julia Darrow Cowles.In preparing this book the author has sought to awaken a keener perception and a higher appreciation of the artistic and ethical value of story-telling; to simplify some of its problems; to emphasize the true delight which the story-teller may share with her hearers; and to present fresh material which answers to the test of being good in substance as well as in literary form.Featured on Anthem - Ayn Rand.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Quiet Talks about Jesus by S. D. Gordon.So far as I can find out, I have no theory about Jesus to make these talks fit into. I have tried to find out for myself what the old Book of God tells about Him. And here I am trying to tell to others, as simply as I can, what I found. It was by the tedious, twisting path of doubt that I climbed the hill of truth up to some of its summits of certainty. I am free to confess that I am ignorant of the subject treated here save for the statements of that Book, and for the assent within my own spirit to these statements, which has greatly deepened the impression they made, and make. There is no question raised here about that Book itself, but simply a taking and grouping up together of what it says.Featured on Anthem - Ayn Rand.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

History of Freedom of Thought by John Bagnell Bury.The great civil liberties we enjoy today, like Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press, have their foundation in Freedom of Thought. Without being able to freely explore all kinds of matter with an inquisitive mind, whether it be religious, political, societal, scientific, etc., any expression thereof is limited in and of itself. John Bagnell Bury tells the history of freedom of thought from its roots in Ancient Greece and Rome through the dark and restrictive Middle Ages and its renewed liberation in the Renaissance and the Reformation until the Rationalism of the 17th - 19th centuries. The focus of this book is on religious freethought, but the ideas and values of freedom of thought can be applied to any subject where rigorous thinking is beneficial.Featured on Anthem - Ayn Rand.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Sandman's Hour by Abbie Phillips Walker.Reading bedtime stories to children can be a wonderful way to relax and at the same time act out the exciting things happening in the story for them. If you've done it, you know the feeling and if you haven't I can only hope that you were the rapt audience for such stories when a child. We can let ourselves go and perform all the parts with abandon because the only audience are those who unreservedly appreciate our thespian talents. These 25 stories are all original and all sparkling examples of Abby Walker's ability to spin a witty story that is fun to read and listen to. Don't you really want to know about The Good Sea Monster? The Shoemaker Rat or most of all, The Disorderly Girl? If not, you may go back to reading Kant with my blessing.Featured on Anthem - Ayn Rand.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
