About
About Me: I’ve been recording audiobooks in my spare time for about two years now, and you can find a more-or-less up to date listing of all the things I’ve recorded at my other website. It’s included all sorts of things, from Austen and Freud, to Kafka and Wollstoncroft. To date, everything I’ve recorded is in the US Public Domain, and much of it is in the global public domain. LibriVox, the organisation I record with, is entirely volunteer-run and new readers are always welcome … it’s not nearly as hard as you might think. Got microphone? get reading!
About George Reynolds: there’s an excellent biography of the man, giving the context of this particular work, at victorianlondon.org. Mysteries of London is only one of more than a dozen books by Reynolds, and given that it’s about three times as long as War and Peace, as is Mysteries of the Court of London (its successor when Reynolds handed off MoL to other writers) I’m darned if I can quite work out how he found hours in the day for it all. I’m glad he did, though. It was best-selling entertainment at the time, and I hope listeners today will find it equally fun – it’s almost a prehistoric EastEnders.
