Beautiful story and superb reading

(5 Sterne)

I listen to this every spring. Love the reader's voice and presentation. Stands apart from most other librivox recordings I heard to date.

Makes much more sense than the films, and magnificent reader!

(5 Sterne)

Thank you for this wonderful reading. Just like with the recording of A Little Princess, I found myself equally as relaxed, comforted, and encouraged with this beautiful story. The author's bit of summary/moral/explanation given in the first part of the last chapter makes the whole story make sense. Something they couldn't do in the movie. And what a precious and beautiful commentary on MOTHERHOOD. All very sweet and moving. The reader does a accents wonderful job of switching back and forth between subtle differences in various British accents. Many bits and pieces of explanation throughout the book would have been lost on me had it not been for her marvelous interpretive skills! Had I attempted to read this myself rather than listen to this excellent reader, there would have been quite a few puzzling moments! A thousand thanks!💖

Great Story and A Learning Reader

(4 Sterne)

The story is wonderful!! The reader isn’t the absolute best and perfect I’ve ever heard, but she does a pretty good job. There’s some background noise at times, sometimes she pauses/stutters. But not bad enough to switch readers!

A joyful story

(5 Sterne)

This was a lovely story and the narration was exceptional. I wished it could have went on longer.

Couldn't Be Better Than This!!
