Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. LOVED IT!

Our DAISYs are produced automatically within the workflow we currently use as we scan books. They rely on the OCR produced in the scanning process and are therefore susceptible to errors, which may include weird characters, non-words, and guesses at structure where we can't find any. We're thinking about ways to get community input into OCR and book structure error correction. (If you're interested in helping us, or know of good resources in these areas, please let us know.)

Daisy is your not-so-ordinary main character... wherever she goes, whatever she does... well, there always seems to be some sort of trouble!Further information on DAISY books and the software needed to use them can be found in the Computing Guide. Further support As our first step, the Internet Archive is supporting the Library of Congress National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped library program to circulate Braille, audio or DAISY materials to eligible readers. This program is only available to residents of the United States or American citizens living abroad. RNIB Certificate in Contracted (Grade 2) Unified English Braille - Exam-only option for blind and partially people Digital Talking Books (DTB) go far beyond the limits imposed on analog audio books because they can include not just the audio rendition of the work, but also the full textual content and images. Because the textual content file is synchronized with the audio file, a DTB offers multiple sensory inputs to readers, a great benefit to, for example, learning-disabled readers. Some visually impaired readers may choose to listen to most of the book, but find that inspecting the images provides information not available in the narrative flow. Others may opt to skip the audio presentation altogether and instead view the text file via screen-enlarging software. Braille readers may prefer to read some or all of the document via a refreshable Braille display device connected to their DTB player and accessing the textual content file. DTBs containing a textual content file but no audio material might be accessed via synthetic speech, screen-enlarging software, or a Braille device. Players which support DAISY 3 text-only books should play the open books available from the Internet Archive.
