This radio show is designed to bring to life a powerful story promoting the themes of family, friendship, and courage. The Britfield radio show is meant to engage and entertain you with an inspiring story while offering a fun family experience.
The setting is a special library. Special because often the readers are visited by authors from the past. Today we will visit with kids from We The Kids, who are studying to be journalists focusing on past history. An author from the past has just joined the group. Let’s listen in to find out who the Kids are talking to and what they are talking about.
Have fun exploring the World of Britfield And The Lost Crown
CARYS: Hello, Carys ‘ere… I’m your We The Kids reporter ‘ere in London . We are here with a group of We The Kids Students. It’s a quiet afternoon in the old library, with rows of dusty bookshelves stretching up to the ceiling. The air is thick with the scent of old books and the soft murmur of hushed conversations.
Suddenly, the door creaks open, and Jane Austen walks in, her eyes scanning the room with a curious gaze. As she makes her way through the stacks, she notices a group of children gathered around a table, their faces aglow with excitement. They’re surrounded by books, papers, and quills, and they look like they’re in the midst of a lively discussion.
British voice
MISS AUSTEN: Oh my, who are all you children? I don’t believe I have seen all you children here before!
SAMI: We are the: WE THE KIDS LIBERTY PLAYERS – USA
Miss Austen: Well Well! nice to meet you… My name is Ms. Jane Austen. I love this old Library! It is so lovely to visit with you all in this old library. You all must enjoy reading. Do any of you know who I am?
AFTON: Yes… I do. My name is…. You are the author, Ms. Jane Austen; you wrote great novels from 1800s. I learned a lot about the history of England when I read your books… can I ask why are you here?
MISS AUSTEN: visit this old library often, as do many other authors and historians from the past. “OH Yes, I wrote novels about life in England at that time. Many of them, like Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, were stories about middle-class families living in England. I was a romantic, so my stories often had a romantic twist. This way, I was able to show students like you, with some humor and romance, what life was like at that time.”
What is the story you are listening to? What is it about?”….Who are you my dear?
ALIYAH: I’m Aliyah, We are listening to the first segment of Britfield and the Lost Crown. The story starts out in the modern-day Weatherly Orphanage, located in the smoldering crags of Yorkshire, Northern England. The place is run by people named Mr. and Mrs. Grievous. The book is written by an author named Mr. Chad Stewart.
MISS AUSTEN: Hummmm…I don’t believe I have heard of Master Chad Stewart.
MERRITT: I am Merritt…. Ms. Austen, what’s an orphanage?
MISS AUSTEN: “Ah, good day to you, young Merritt! It is an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance. I must say, you have a most intriguing name…First of all,
orphanages are not new. We had them in the 1800’s as well. An orphanage is a home where children without parents live. In most orphanages, children were treated with love and respect. But all too often, evil people were in charge.”…… and who are you, young man?
JACK: Hi I’m Jack. In this story, Tom and Sarah, age 12, are being held prisoner and forced to work. The children have numbers, not names, and are punished constantly.
MERRITT: That is very scary!
MISS AUSTEN: I am sure they will be fine my dear! It sounds like Mr. and Mrs. Grievous were evil. It is awful to be held someplace against your will.”
HENRY: I’m Henry, Ms Austen why were the children given numbers and not Names?
MISS AUSTEN: When a person has a number instead of a name, it makes them less of an individual and it becomes easier to inflict punishment on them. Ah, children who’s is next?
MALLORY: Hello, Miss Austin name is Mallory … Ms. Austin. We are going to listen to a story today also based in England, but is it from our time period. Can you stay and listen to the story with us? MISS AUSTEN: Yes, I think I will. It sounds like these children are in trouble. Let’s all listen and see if Tom and Sarah are successful in getting away from the evil Mr. and Mrs. Grievous.
**THE CALIFORNIA KIDS SHOW** played here.
OUTRO:
MISS AUSTEN: I see that the situation is more dire than I initially thought. These children are in great need of attention and support. I must say that I am deeply moved by their story and I will continue to see the outcome of this situation until we have achieved a positive and uplifting resolution. We can overcome even the greatest of challenges.
