Lovely!

I find it extremely difficult to find patience with people who criticize the literature and the readers when they are offering this service absolutely free! When a book is written in another era it stands to reason, surely, even to the simplest mind, that it would be written in a style and for an audience suitable to that era! All I can say is...loved the story, and reader...and thank you for taking your valuable time to make it available.
Beautiful story! Well read!

It was a beautiful fairytale type story. The reader was excellent. If you’re looking for reality and present day ideals I don’t know what you are doing reading a fictional story from 75+ years ago. If you have a romantic sensibility and a good sense of humor you will love this one!
So pleasant

I enjoyed this reader's style (Mary Herndon Bell) and the story is so pleasant and sweet. i listened to it a second time with my teen/tween girls and it was innocent enough to listen to in front of my littles also.
Cute story

The narration was great! I had no problem with the "libary lady", since that would be how children would pronounce it. A bit predictable, but a cute story.
Nice story

I really enjoyed the story and liked how it progressed. I was hooked and wanted to know what will happen. Then came the last chapter and although it ended well it felt really rushed.

Lovely story, well written, and so clean and wholesome. The reader did a very nice job. My only complaint is her pronunciation of the word "library".
