A feast for the soul!

I absolutely love this classic book. And this reader is spot on! I have listened to it at least half a dozen times and expect to return to it again and again. Each time, I enjoy it more than the last. It inspires me to be a better person and to be more grateful for the world we live in.

IT IS SO GOOD

I like it because it has a lot of friendship and love in it. Also the way it’s made is just 😊

Amazing

I love all of Gene Stratton Porter’s books. They some of the best books ever; I read a lot of books and these are the best.

I loved the plot, the characters, and every thing else.
-The story was very well built and as all of her books are very sweet and wholesome.
-The whole family was lovable and caring, they all helped each other.


About one of the other reviews, the blue goose ( peacock ) did die but it was not gruesome.
Yes, the girl almost died, but she agreed wholeheartedly. They were being silly and wanted to see how it felt to die. I will note that they are silly very often, that was the only time they acted like that.
I could hear the pages turn on occasion, but not very often and it did not matter because the story was so good. I think the narrater did great and had great voices.

I would encourage getting this book.

The character of a family!

I liked the innocent strength of this family. They make me realize the needs of our own generation and I am stimulated to seek it for my family .

My favorite book ever

I read this book over and over growing up and listening to it several times. I never grow tired of this love-filled story. And the performance was beautiful!
