    Saturday Night Serial - F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby - Chapter 9, Part 3

    The Great Gatsby is a 1925 tragedy novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire obsessed with reuniting with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922.

    The Brothers Grimm - The Shoemaker and the Elves

    While I take a short break, I will be putting up Grimm Tales which I recorded about two years ago. "The Elves and The Shoemaker" is a set of fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm about a poor shoemaker who receives much-needed help from three young helpful elves. The original story is the first of three fairy tales contained as entry 39 in the German Grimm's Fairy Tales under the common title "Die Wichtelmänner". In her translation of 1884 Margaret Hunt chose The Elves as title for these three stories. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-reads--6173738/support.
