4 chapters · 49 min · MP3
The famous — and unsettling — childhood stories: the clay sparrows that fly, the boy who withers a playmate and raises him again, the schoolmaster who cannot teach him the alphabet, the beam of wood stretched to fit.

Text: Adapted for listening from Archbishop William Wake's translation (The Apocryphal New Testament; Lost Books of the Bible, 1820s), public domain — lightly modernized for the ear; names and order kept.
Narration: Digital narration — a locked cast of synthetic character voices, performed with emotion. No human narrator was recorded.
The text is the public-domain edition named above, lightly modernized for listening. Each chapter opens with a one-line Timeline written for this edition; that line is commentary, not scripture, and it says so.
