With the way things have gotten so dark lately, I figured I just needed a shot of something bright and cheerful, and reading Pollyanna was just what the doctor ordered. So, I recorded it. I'll be releasing it as a boxed set, along with Winnie-the-Pooh, The Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland. Keep an eye on your in box, and I'll send the product link as soon as it's available this week. You can preorder it now, by following this link: https://store.classictalesaudiobooks.com/classic-tales-for-children-volume-1-p366.aspx Mary Stanbery Watts was a rather prolific writer at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. She wrote many stories for McClures, and novels for MacMillan, several set during the Spanish-American war. Today's story, "Nice Neighbors", she wrote near the end of her writing career, in 1923. Just a heads up – this story does deal with violence toward animals. And now, "Nice Neighbors", by Mary Stanbery Watts.
