A dramatic reading John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" performed by Vincent Gibbs, English teacher and Drama Club director for many years at Robert E. Peary High School, Rockville, MD. Each year, Mr. Gibbs spent a full week reading this story to his 11th grade English students. I heard it in 1972/73 and it was quite magical to come in each morning and listen to Mr. Gibbs amazing vocal characterizations. These MP3 recordings were made from a tape recording that Mr. Gibbs made in the late 1990s.

THE LITTLE PRINCE
Saint-Exupéry began writing The Little Prince during World War II, after Germany’s invasion of France had forced him to give up aviation and flee to New York. In addition to his torturous thoughts of the war in Europe, having to leave his homeland and no longer being able to fly planes affected Saint-Exupéry deeply. The novel’s nostalgia for childhood indicates both Saint-Exupéry’s homesick desire to return to France and his hope of returning to a time of peace. This wartime stress undoubtedly contributed to the sense of urgency in Saint-Exupéry’s message of love and compassion.
