Re: The Mystery of Holly Lane, Five Find-Outers - Audio Cass

Postscript: Audible have NINE titles from the Five-FindOuters series, including Mystery of Holly Lane. Only problem is they're not dramatised versions as were the original Tempo series.

Re: The Mystery of Holly Lane, Five Find-Outers - Audio Cass

Hello There! I, too, am very keen to obtain an mp3 of Holly Lane. So, if you want to share the COST of procuring one (in hard copy or mp3), let me know. OR, if you already have a copy, name your price!!!

Cheers.

"Begging your pardon, Minerva, but I'm a bit baffled here. Was there any particular reason for reacting in such a dramatically affronted way to something I posted, almost as if it were a personal insult to you? :( "I don't know you any more than you know me, but I can assure you I'm not a ...

Re: Adventure Audiobooks (and others)

I don't recall anyone commenting on the morality of the You Tube offerings. We simply raised the legal issues - as many people would choose not to involve themselves however tenuously in the breaking of copyright laws be that by merely listening or promoting such items. That's entirely up to each i...

Anita: "I listened to the beginnings of three Blyton audio books on that YouTube account ('A Book At Bedtime'). The name of the person reading The Island of Adventure wasn't given. However, Five on a Treasure Island and Five Go Adventuring Again were the Jan Francis recordings which were releas...

Re: Adventure Audiobooks (and others)

I'm surprised too at the talk of "vested interests", etc. I don't think that applies to anyone who has posted but even if people with vested interests were to join the forums (e.g. Jan Francis, Bernard Cribbins, a Hodder employee or the person who owns the YouTube account), they'd be welc...

Re: Adventure Audiobooks (and others)

I don't know these recordings, and I don't know if they're still in print...but they would definitely be copyrighted. Many such recordings are still owned by the publishers and could well be reissued by them at a later date. Whether they are old recordings or not, someone still owns the copyright.....

Re: Adventure Audiobooks (and others)

Another good reason for Enid Blyton's stories to be on YouTube! It's short-sighted to see such exposure as a threat to sales. Quite the contrary I should have thought?

See ya.

Re: Adventure Audiobooks (and others)

Entirely illegal, no doubt about it. You Tube often pulls breaches of copyright so if anyone plans to listen to these I'd do it sooner rather than later. I agree it would be a shame if parents replaced reading to/with their children with audiobooks but I think they're great for kids regardless. My ...

Re: Nature

Thanks to all for the compliments regarding my photo. The photo is a bit blurred, but the original isn't! I'm having trouble finding a decent site to use so I can upload my photos onto the forums. Tiny pics seems to be unreliable & I can't get no joy out of imgur. I think the latter needs to be...

Re: Audio Tape of the Books

If you are trying to source these before Christmas (2016!) I am happy to supply MP3s of the ones you need, provided I have them of course. PM me with list of titles if you are interested. You will require a "Drop Box" or access to a fileserver.

Merry Christmas!
