The Life of Captain James Cook [Full Audiobook] by Arthur Octavius Kitson

“In publishing a popular edition of my work, Captain James Cook, R.N., F.R.S., it has, of course, been necessary to condense it, but care has been taken to omit nothing of importance, and at the same time a few slight errors have been corrected, and some new information has been added, chiefly relating to the disposition of documents.”

    One gets the impression that this is a Libravox recording and that all Libravox recordings are in the public domain.

    I hope this Libravox recording is in the public domain?
  • A light voice really doesn't work well. In radio it is a well known fact for decades that a baritone or tenor voice carries rich tones for the ear to process. I can't listen and enjoy audio books unless the voice is baritone.
