(5 stars)

It's a shame that more of Ms. Spyri's novels haven't reached American children.

Quite Enjoyable


(5 stars)

This is an excellent story for children and adults. A good take away from the story: Even when things don't seem to be moving in the right direction, don't give up hope! Trust God. He always brings things about with perfect timing. The reader was easy to listen to.

Excellent story


(5 stars)

What a wonderful story! It should not be thought of as just a children's book; it is very appealing to adults too. The Christian element that pervades the story is a real blessing.

Sweet and Encouraging
