Contributor Bio(s): Pratt, Mara L.: -

Mara L. Pratt--who also wrote under her married name, Pratt-Chadwick--was an author of many educational books for children, including not only American History Stories but America's Story for America's Children, Stories of Colonial Children, The Great West, and Stories from Shakespeare. A significant number of her books have remained in print through the many years since their original publication due to their enduring cultural value.

Hodges, Jim: -

Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, volunteered to perform as a newscaster during his twenty years in the Navy, and performing in community theater. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, "I'd record books." And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children's books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.
