Voice of Liquid Gold

Jim Weiss read the audio version for 'Story of the World' by Susan wise Bauer.  His voice has been called 'liquid gold'.  I don't know if it is quite that amazing, but I do enjoy his story telling.

After we finished that book I went to my library website and searched for other books he has read.  Turns out there is a whole collection of story CDs read by him, from Egypt, Arabia, Renaissance, and Tom Sawyer.  Each CD has about an hour of stories, weaving some history with lots of fun tales.

Our library doesn't have all the versions, but we are steadily working our way through all the ones they do have.  His voice is a perfect naptime accompaniment, soft and soothing enough to help the little ones sleep, entertaining enough to help the older ones enjoy while they clean and work.
