After finishing my third book for Iambik recently, I have a few days to return to my LibriVox projects. I'm in the process of completing my current solo Three Girls in a Flat. I also managed to sneak readings for the current Weekly Poem and latest Fortnightly Poem. I can't pass up a great poem so I check each week to see what LibriVox has up for recording.I'm also going to have to write an introduction to this book because I haven't been able to find anything I can use on Wikipedia or even bookstores where the book can still be purchased. Generally, I use info from those sites on their own (with credit, of course) or I may add to them or present the information in a completely different way. No luck with this one so I'm going to have to start from scratch. I suspect that this book was somewhat autobiographical. There are three girls sharing a flat, one of whom was a sculptor. There are three women credited as authors and, you guessed it, the first woman named, Enid Yandell, was a sculptor. The book is episodic and takes place in Chicago around the time of the World's Fair in the early 1900's.
I'm prepping for my next Iambik project. This one is a romance called Nanny Behaving Badly by Judie Jarvie. After recording three rather serious books (although they were not without humor), this should be a fun read. As you can see from the cover, there's nothing 'buttoned up' about this young lady...
