Great Family Read


(4.5 stars)

Great book, a story narrated by a child about the escapades of himself and his siblings. This is a family of witty, creative and clever children with strong morals but ever so many questionable ideas on how to acquire money to help their family. Our whole family truly enjoyed this book. The reader also did an excellent job.

Amazing reader!!

This reminds me of Art Linkletter's, "Kids say the darnedest things" (1950~60?) I haven't laughed so hard for years! Shedd a few tears too. Thank you librivox and Karen Savage. Ms. Savage is such a good reader, I wish I could talk so well.

E. Nesbit and Karen Savage are a match made in heaven. I love the subtle wit, darling stories, and powerful lessons learned in these books. Nesbit does a great job of keeping things moralistic without being heavy-handed. And Karen Savage is just brilliant. Her style of reading is perfectly suited for the conversational nature of this story in particular, although I have yet to hear something she read that I DIDN'T like.

Sweet and Charming


(5 stars)

Having a vivid imagination and a large set of siblings myself, this story is so pleasant and easy to listen to. It is similar to the feels of A Secret Garden or A Little Princess. And as always, Karen Savage is the perfect narrator.

Top class!

I was charmed completely by this wonderful story. Karen Savage is a superb reader, and in her inimitable style brought the story to life. The exploits of these intrepid children were quite amusing, and more than a little comedic. An excellent work.
