Oh my gosh, Anne, how I love these pieces! Thank you. I debated about whether to read it, or listen to it, first and ended up reading. Now I have your reading to look forward to.
I am also using the en français version of your website to practice my French comprehension 🇫🇷
Carry on ~ Love, Murphy
Oh, and thanks for pushing PA over the blue ledge – which I am sure you did.
Ahhhh Anne (with an “e”, What a pleasure to be introduced to your grandmother and learn that she also had an affinity for the stage. Like Mr. Murphy there, I read the story, not seeing where to click for the recited version. I will surely listen to you recitation.
BYW, in the previous (I think) post, I could only find the french version. I’m lazy to read in french. Takes me a long time and I’m afraid to miss the subtleties. I didn’t see how to get in english. I’m very bad navigating the “click heres” etc. Did I miss it?
