Story Time by  Richard Slater

How it started...

Richard's mother read many books for him and his sister when they were children, which kindled his early interest in reading. Years later, his mother told him and his wife about how she used to enjoy how her father read books to her and her siblings at bed time and how she loved it so much. Richard's grandfather was a great story teller and would enjoy using different voices to enliven the stories for his little listeners. Richard realized that he may have acquired his talent with his voice from his grandfather, and came up with the idea of reading books aloud for those who enjoyed them. At "Story Time by Richard Slater," Richard reads and records books, then his lovely wife edits the voice recordings into videos. Our goal is to read the many copyright-free books out there that we like. Please let us know what you would like Richard to read next, and we may add them to our list!
