More fantastic Nesbit magic!
Ken Allen
Another charming offering of often quirky, sometimes funny, sometimes touching tales of children and their understanding of adults and the world - truly terrific writing, her books are the thing that caused me to discover Libravox this app - and all the readers did a great job, thank you all (:
Great readers, wonderful author

E. Nesbitt is one of my favourite authors. I love the way she writes about children, with such insight and sense of innocence and fun. The kids in her books really know how to play!
