I\u2019m hoping that if we get enough supporters, I can record some more classics outside of the podcast. I\u2019m researching out an Alexandre Dumas book that might fit the bill. If you can swing it, please chip in! And now for something completely different. A while ago, back in May, I asked via Facebook whether &amp;nbsp;it might be time for a western to be in order. Since I\u2019m from the West myself, I thought it might be fitting. For one reason or other, I wasn\u2019t feeling it. However, I did run across this idea. Today\u2019s book, The Yellow Rose, is from Maurus Jokai, or Jokai Mor, one of Hungary\u2019s most famous writers. Hungary is famous for its horse culture, and this book takes place at a time before railroads, and deals largely with the traditions and way of life for the cowherds and horsemen, or csikos, of Hungary. Well, I thought, what if I performed this book as if it were an American Western? It parallels our trope of \u201cWestern\u201d so well, why not? So, let\u2019s give it a shot. Let\u2019s go now to an adventure in the old world, in a Western that takes place a stone\u2019s throw from Asia. And now, The Yellow Rose, Part 1 of 3, by Maurus Jokai. &amp;nbsp; Tap here to go to www.classictalesaudiobooks.com and become a financial supporter! &amp;nbsp; Tap here to go to our merchandise store! &amp;nbsp; Tap here to visit our YouTube Channel: &amp;nbsp; Tap here to pick up some of our new titles: ","author_name":"The Classic Tales Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.classictalesaudiobooks.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/20203766\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/109650128"}
