Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad
L. Frank Baum
Read by LibriVox Volunteers





Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad is the second of the ten book series of Aunt Jane's Nieces. The story continues with the three much loved girls - the sweet and generous Patsy, the cunning Louise, and the sullen Beth. This time they're on a tour of Europe with their down-to-earth uncle John Merrick.
The benevolent uncle and his nieces meet mysterious and sinister Victor Valdi, his daughter Tato, and a pretend nobleman, Count Ferralti, who fancies Louise. The story revolves around travel and kidnapping, and the subsequent adventures of the three young girls, told in Baum's own inimitable style that keeps us at the edge of our seats.

Reviews
Good story





ally
The story was very interesting and very close to real life facts as it has happened to my family in real life so i could see that happening 100%. only thing i didn't like was the reader Elli i think she read the second last chapter and i have heard her in other books to she is a terrible public reader I don't mean to be rude but her accent is very strong and could barely understand her what she said which made me quite upset as the chapter was quite intense and had to go back in the book and actually read it to understand what actually happened I'm sorry elli but i would suggested please don't read for others thanks
Book content and readers





Meh
There is alot going on in this book, almost too much. Chapter 29 is read by a lady with a VERY heavy French sounding accent and it is high pitched. It was almost impossible to make sense of. I had to settle for the main jist of it.

I love the book. I just don’t understand why there has to be such a mixture of readers. Why can’t the foreign voices all be on one book? It’s frustrating to be able to understand some so well and then not understand some at all....





FranChristian
Story was very good and would have been a five but for the reading of chapter 29. It was an important chapter and I only got the jist of it as the reader’s accent was too heavy to be understood. This was terribly disappointing!
great book





I was a little disappointed by some readers,mainly because the parts that were more interesting like the letter of Tato was read so terribly ,I couldn't understand not even a word .





Irene
I like the book, but some readers had such heavy foreign accents that it was hard to understand. Chapter 29 was the worst!
Great Story

Loved the historic fiction! The story moves at the perfect pace and has plenty of turns.
So so
