About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox volunteers bring you 6 recordings of The Willows by Bret Harte. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for July 3, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Brian Darby; David Lawrence; Maria Kasper; Matthew Datcher and Tomas Peter. The Willows is a parody on the verse of Edgar Allan Poe. Francis Bret Harte was an American author and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted, and admired.
