Hello! Very excited to start releasing the next audiobook soon, "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In the meantime, this is just a very quick word about my approach to these classic texts when it comes to problematic views such as racism, sexism and so on. I try to deal with everthing sensitively, and use my best judgement as to whether to make changes/cuts or not, and I will continue to include content warnings for certain things when I judge it appropriate to do so. However, if you're listening to these books which were all written at least 70 years ago, I ask that you go into it with an awareness that of course views have changed over time, and not everything you hear will sit well with our more enlightened modern attitudes. There are arguments for sanitising the texts, and there are arguments for preserving them as they are, and my versions tend to go somewhere in between - I don't know what the answer is, but all I know is that I am enjoying creating these audiobooks and I continue to use my own judgement when working out how to present them for your listening pleasure. Thanks for your support!
