| The Naughty Boy & The Girl Who Trod Upon Bread |
The naughty boy shoots people with his bow and arrows. His victims seldom recover. The naughty little Inger was given a loaf of bread to take home to her starving mother.

The following is a list selected from the several hundred readings I recorded and broadcast over the years. The works represent the wide range of world literature that we offered the listeners. There was much response, phone calls, letters of appreciation, but more important, questions and discussions about the works presented. These responses had a great effect of how seriously we were to take the level of interest and comprehension, that our audience of widely different literary backgrounds has.
