The Biography of a Prairie Girl


Read by Teresa Bauman

(3.9 stars; 19 reviews)

This book is a wonderful way to learn about how the prairies were years ago, but you will hardly feel you are learning because you will be caught up with the 'little girl', living with her as she grows up far away from any large city. Very well written, in this book you live, worry, and rejoice, along with the little girl. Whether it is through a prairie fire, raising some interesting and queer pet, having fun at some big prairie-time event, or worming her way out of trouble, the little girl continues to grow, until at the end, you leave, not a little girl, but a young lady stepping into womanhood. - Summary by Trotsa (5 hr 46 min)

Reviews

A coming of age tale...with prarie dogs.


(2.5 stars)

A novel of growing up in the settling USA Midwest. The plot line zigs and zags and lurches through odd stories which leave you wondering why that was important to the plot line then totally sets the plot adrift on the readers own imagination.

What a good listen!


(5 stars)

Lovely, well written, and very nicely narrated. The passages are filled with lively intonation and colorful descriptions, providing just the right amount of detail to drive along the mental movie at an entertaining pace, while not sounding too wordy. I will listen to it again!


(4 stars)

The plot is somewhat charming, simple and illustrative of early prairie life. The reader has challenging enunciation and the slurring of her words sometimes makes it difficult to understand the audio.

Not the best narrator


(4 stars)

wow. The reader does not pronounce words correctly & is hard to
