I liked this little book very much. Christopher Morley must have had a good sense of humor, and also sensibility enough to understand a woman's feelings. Dawn Larsen's portrayal of the main character gave her reality and sweetness, while the clarity of her voice made the story quite enjoyable. Many thanks from a happy listener.

The reader does an excellent job on this book. The book itself is a fun, light read. It is definitely a Morley book and includes his humor, although subdued compared to his essays.
Wonderful story & reader

What a delightful story and Dawn Larsen is an excellent reader. The premise of the story reminded me a bit of the bookmobile that used to stop in our neighborhood every so often.

Fantasy but fun; middle aged woman, stuck on the farm baking bread and taking care of her brother, runs away with a roving bookseller in his horse drawn wagon, and finds true romance.

An excellent reading of an enchanting story. Light-hearted and, at times, laugh out loud hilarious. Anyone that appreciates books, literature, and a simple kind of life should make space in their days for this story.
