IDK, I've looked hard , for years and years. I basically have no hope, but figured I'd try here. Blind people seem to be really into old-school and archival stuff, so maybe someone will find it in their collection or on one of their hard drives or (if they're true giggachads, look for it online 😘).
I scoured torrent sites, the Wayback Machine — but I'm also not an expert at either of those things.
This is The Cricket in Times Square Part 1/2. I used to have this collection known as "16 Children's Classics and Award Winners". It was a set of 16 audiobooks of some classics, dramatized. Each was in its own folder, and each had two parts.
Some notable titles include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, A cricket in Times Square, Harry Cat's Puppy (which was in the same universe as The Cricket in Times Square), Across Five Aprils, Call It Courage, A Wrinkle in Time, and A Wind Something-or-Another — same universe as Wrinkle. Really fun stuff.
The point is, they were really old quality (in a good way), really well done, and I loved them. They were the first ever... stories I guess? That I ever read.
Someone in my family put them on the very first MP3 player I ever got. That was like nearly 12 years ago now maybe more. I used to have them on a PC that crashed. I tried to recover it, but it was this second-hand old PC my mom was using, one the workplace had lent her so it sucked.
I had sent them to a friend, but the fucker never sent it back to me.
Then I recovered just this one book, and then I lost Part 2 again somehow :((
Anyway sob story aside : point is, I would really, really, really like it if anyone else has heard of these or could find them. I believe originally they were obtained via taurent.
Hmm... maybe I should cross-post this on audiogames.net.
