Peter of New Amsterdam: A Story of Old New York

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. Twelve-year-old Peter Hulbert is left an orphan in Leyden, Holland, as the rest of the Pilgrim's sail for the New World. A merchant of the West India Company takes him to New Amsterdam as his servant. Here Peter's adventures begin in this historically accurate tale of life in old New York. The purpose of this story is to show children the home life of the colonists with whom they meet in their history books. So that the stories may appeal more directly to the children, they are told from the viewpoint of a child and purport to have been related by a child. It is entertaining as well as instructive for young people to read of the toil and privations in the homes of those who came into a new world to build a country for themselves, and such facts are not to be found in history books.Written in the 1800s, the Young Listeners Collection features children's stories from yesterday's classics. Learn from our nation's founders whose Christian faith was lived out in the lives of the characters in these stories.

Set before World War One, it focuses on Penrod Schofield and his best friend Sam Williams as they go on hilarious adventures.

Peau d'âne de Charles Perrault

Mourante, une reine se fait promettre par le roi de ne prendre pour nouvelle épouse qu'une femme plus belle qu'elle. Mais la seule personne capable de rivaliser avec sa beauté n'est autre que sa propre fille, et le roi lui fait sa demande. Pour échapper à cette union, la princesse demande à son père, pour sa dot, des robes irréalisables, mais il parvient toujours à les lui offrir... Ce conte est interprété par Fabienne Prost, pour la plus grande joie des petits et des grands. Elle lui demande alors de sacrifier son âne qui produit des écus d'or en guise de crottin, son plus précieux trésor, et le roi s'exécute. La princesse s'enfuit alors du château, revêtue de la peau de l'âne. Elle emporte avec elle sa toilette et ses plus belles robes. Le prince d'un autre royaume, où s'est installée Peau d'âne comme servante, la voit, mais il ne la reconnaît pas sans ses tenues de princesse. Il demande alors que Peau d'âne lui fasse un gâteau. En faisant la galette, elle laisse tomber sa bague dans la pâte. Le prince demande immédiatement que toutes les femmes et demoiselles du pays, de la plus noble à la plus humble, viennent essayer la bague. Aucune ne peut passer cette dernière. Enfin, on fait venir Peau d'âne. Son doigt entre dans la bague et le prince peut alors l'épouser.
