Another site, which includes a smaller but more professionally curated set of recordings, is Lit2Go (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/). My children and I for example have greatly enjoyed Lorraine Montgomery’s recording of “Curly and Floppy Twistytail”, a series of delightful nonsense stories performed with gusto. (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/183/curly-and-floppy-twistytail-t...) They’re not all aimed at children either, high quality recordings of Dracula, David Copperfield, etc

Ohhh, I never thought I'd see FCIT/lit2go mentioned on HN! I used to work in the sound booth for lit2Go, it was one of my favorite jobs. We had some wonderful vocal talent come through, and I learned much of what I know about recording/mixing from that work.The people in charge of organizing that project were diligent/earnest to the point of sainthood.

They have quite a few historic stereo-views scattered around their open source pic site, I always enjoyed browsing those with my 3d shades on:
