Website Editor’s Note: In abstracting these recordings from the original, I generally chose just the reading and not the preamble. The readings are in the correct order so each person’s full contribution can be quite easily tracked down on the 8-hour original, especially if you know your Kipling! The recordings were also normalised as regards volume. (iantks@icloud.com)
