Adventures of Bindle
Gelesen von Don W. Jenkins
Herbert George Jenkins
(4,745 Sterne; 55 Bewertungen)
Jenkins' most popular fictional creation was Mr. Joseph Bindle, who first appeared in a humorous novel in 1916 and in a number of sequels. In the preface to the books, T. P. O'Connor said that "Bindle is the greatest Cockney that has come into being through the medium of literature since Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers". The stories are based on the comedic drama of life at work, at home and all the adventures that take place along the way. (Summary by Wikipedia) (6 hr 25 min)

As an Army combat veteran, I rarely hear the birds sing or smell the flowers as I once did. But after listening to you reading "Bindle" and other humorous works of fiction, and laughing for a while, I begin to feel better. I do not have the words to express adequately my gratitude to you (as well as all Librivox volunteers) for the benefits your gift and your goodness have given to me. I pray God will bless you and all at Librivox for the time and effort you all take for the benefit of others. "Bindle" is just one example of the literary works I could name for which your excellent reading has added to the literary talent of the author. Thanks again and God bless you and Librivox.
And the adventures continue

I LOVED the handling of the good nosey McFie, and how he is discouraged from pursuing the niece. Classic! Oh and the rest of the stories are great. I hoping you are listening to them in order. If so, my reviews will make more sense. :-)

I actually love Bindle & Mrs B! They're great together but Bindle is also great on his own. Most often he doesn't mean to stir things up unless there's a good reason for it. As an atheist I love seeing a character of this period that thinks religious people are ridiculous! He appears to be a deist, which if you must make yourself believe in a god is the only sane way to be. However, the Bindle books are not offensive to anyone. He just observes & questions people particularly the super believers like his wife. She's hilarious! She's always accusing Bindle of being disgusting or lewd when he isn't. For example, mentioning that someone removed her stockings & saying "baby" around a young lady are somehow lewd to her! While the stories are funny & drag you in the narration really brings the characters to life. I'm so happy that Don's read all of the Bindle books because after hearing 1 I can't imagine anyone else reading it. He's so good!
