Give It A Chance
LexiBlossom
This was such a rewarding listen and I am glad I preserved. The changing cast voices took a bit of adjusting to, as some were better than others, but I appreciate the volunteer’s efforts and think everything ended up working out. Thank you all for recording this book. I enjoyed it.
LoveClassics
Nice classic heart warming . Most of the characters have done a splendid job Dorris , Warren, Winthrop, Betty , Aunt Préscille, and more, the narrator is wonderful as well.
