Betty Gordon at Bramble Farm
Alice B. Emerson
Read by Marie Christian
Betty Gordon found herself an orphan at age twelve. She became the ward of her uncle, Richard Gordon. She immediately came to love her uncle dearly. Unfortunately, his job took him on travels regularly. Therefore, he decided to send Betty to spend the summer with an old friend, Agatha Peabody, at Bramble Farm. Little did Uncle Dick or Betty know, that Bramble Farm was not a welcoming or joyful place to live, as Agatha's husband was a miserly and sour man. The only bright spot in Betty's summer was her friendship with Bob, a poor orphan, bound to work tirelessly upon the farm. - Summary by Marie Christian (4 hr 39 min)

Thank you Maria.

I'm amost 65 and love reading many different genres but children's stories never lose their timeless charm. Almost finished listening as I sit and knit scarves for my grandchildren. Thank you for reading so beautifully.

Delightful story with a nasty mean villain and two, unrelated, orphans as the hero's. Looking for r the ne t in the set.
perfect reader for this story

I liked the story, but thought the last chapter or two wrapping up the story were missing. Perhaps they’re in the sequel?
enjoyed very much
Ally Sch
hoping there's a recording of the sequel as it's far from over lol
good reader - now we need the sequels
SL Perry
old fashioned charming book that ends abruptly - so we need the rest of the stories
