The Shadow was a fictional character created by American magazine publishers Street & Smith and writer Walter B. Gibson - an invincible crime fighter who possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. In addition to his great strength, he defied gravity, spoke any language, unraveled any codes and most notably, he became invisible with his ability to "cloud men's minds." The Shadow was originally created to be a mysterious radio show narrator but developed into a distinct literary character. The Shadow has been adapted in many forms of media, such as American comic books, comic strips, serials, video games, and at least five feature films. - Audio Credit: The Old Time Radio Researchers Group - Find all our OTR radio stations and podcasts at theaterofthemind-otr.com - All Podcasts @ Spreaker | Apple | YouTube | Spotify | iHeart

What does it mean to be REAL? pondered the Rabbit one day... Written in 1922, The Velveteen Rabbit, or How Toys Become Real, tells the enchanting story of a humble toy rabbit who embarks on a journey to understand life and love.

(Summary written by Marlo Dianne) It was by a sort of accident that The Velveteen Rabbit became the beginning of all the stories I have written since… By reflecting on toys and the love we give them, they come to life in our memories. Toys I cherished as a child—my almost forgotten Tubby, the rabbit, and Old Dobbin, the Skin Horse—along with those my children adored. -- Margery Williams
