About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Mentor 1 by Various. Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. The Mentor Association was established to increase interest and knowledge among the public in the areas of art, literature, science, nature, history and travel. The association published a magazine twice monthly, each dealing with a different topic and often written by a recognized authority of the day. They were easy to read, visually appealing and affordable. This collection includes selections from issues dating from 1913-1919. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
