Welcome to the You Need a Story^TM project.

My name is Robert Green, and I love a good tale. Occasionally I even try my hand at writing one, as well.

At our house, reading aloud to the children is one of the pillars of their early education. And when I read to my own, I'd love to have your young'ns gather 'round with them. There's always room for a couple more.

In fact, if you'll let me know where to send it, I'll be glad to email you a FREE audio story each and every week in our FREE Weekly Newsletter. Sometimes I'll do the reading, sometimes it may be someone else. But each installment brings you an exhilarating audio adventure---unabridged, of course---to enrich your children's minds (not to mention keep them occupied with something beneficial while you get other things done). The selection may be one of the great classics. Or, it may be one of those hidden gems from the vast wealth of children's literature. Or, it may be an enthralling story that has never yet been published. But it will always be clean, wholesome, and enjoyable for the whole family.

Although I must say that (-ahem-) I do a pretty remarkable imitation of a barking dog, yet a polished, professional dramatist I'm not, just a dad with an incurable Southern accent who loves a good story. But more to the point, I love my children with all my heart and want to see their minds trained and their lives filled with living books, great literature, and wonderful stories that not only entertain, but inspire and instruct them in wisdom and virtue and decency.

And we're happy to share our reading time with others.

If you'd like to sign up below, your email address will be put on the list to receive our weekly newsletter with the audio reading, and you'll immediately get a download link to your first story, "RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI," by Rudyard Kipling---the classic, wonderful tale from his Jungle Book, of the courageous little mongoose who saves his adopted English family from a pair of deadly cobras.

This service is totally and truly FREE, with absolutely no strings attached whatsoever.

And it's EASY. Each week simply download the stories to your computer. (If you don't know how, just follow the three easy steps you'll see.) Then just click and listen!

The project is financed by sales of other readings, books, etc. Notices of these will be posted in the newsletter. But we do not press sales at all. You may browse, buy, or not, or just ignore them altogether if you so choose.

That's it! No hidden hooks, no calls---nothing but a free story every week if that's all you want, with our compliments---and you may easily and completely unsubscribe at any time.

Rest assured, too, that we will never sell, rent, share, fold, spindle, nor mutilate your email address in any way.

We know you'd do the same for us.
