Download of the Month


The March selection is F Scott Fitzgerald's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Tales read by Scott Brick.

Anti-bellum Baltimore is the setting for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” a fantastical tale (recently made into an Oscar-nominated movie starring Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchette) with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age seventy who then lives life in reverse. Also included are “The Lost Decade,” “Three Hours between Planes,” “The Bridal Party,” and “Babylon Revisited.” Listen to an excerpt here.
