Help us finish The Scarlet Letter!

We will be releasing soon a new production of The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and performed by Mary Wood if we can raise $2000. Gordon W. Draper, who underwrote the LoudLit.org productions of Huck Finn, A Tale of Two Cities, and Heart of Darkness, challenges the users of LoudLit.org to fund this masterpiece. If you donate $25, you will receive an audio CD version; donate $10 and receive a mp3 CD version. Want to really help? Donate and download the book when it becomes available.

Format and Technical Information

We have been struggling to find a way to consistently deliver audio while viewing web pages. Our latest attempt uses a mp3 player designed by Jereon Wijiering and uses the Flash Plug-in. It has worked consistently on all tested computers. Let us know how it works on yours.

Check Out Our mp3s

We are busy adding mp3 with embedded text to our collection. Some mp3 players (including 5th Generation iPod and iPod nano) allow you to listen and read on your player. On the iPods, repeatedly press the center button to get the "Lyrics" where the text of the work can be found. Distribute them freely, but please do not modify or sell them.
