Excellent story; imperfect audio

This is a fantastically fun and sweet story. i would easily give it 5 stars, except that the audio quality shifts throughout and is frequently quite poor, sometimes with echo, and sometimes quite muddy.

Excellent

I really enjoyed the narrator. Her voice is warm and easy to listen to. One of the best works of fiction ever

This book has much meaning and lessons for life!

I read this as a child, and I knew I needed it again now. I feel bolstered by its messages.

awesome book not a very good narration though.

the book is a favorite of ours but when we heard the narration it kind of set the book back a bit in our estimation of it...sometimes it echoed and no matter how we set the speakers in the vehicle she got to the point we just didn't want to hear her it wasn't that we didn't want to listen to the story.

Story From My Childhood

I love this story by Gene Stratton Porter. The narrator seemed cold and rather bland—but the story itself is so good, I kept listening.

A Forest Melody of Charcters

Gene Stratton-Porter does it again. This book is a companion novel to Freckles and takes place after that story. Elnora Comstock, the main character is a spunky backwoods girl who triumphs over childhood neglect, poverty, and ignorance to become a person I would love to know if she were real. The descriptions of the Limberlost forest are delightful, as are the other characters who live there. I have read or listened to this book more than once. If you like books in the style of Anne of Green Gables, this is for you. It is kid friendly and a fun story with hard work and optimism at the core. Enjoy!

Decent

The narrator herself was good. But the recording was bad.. Half the time you’d be listening and her voice would fade out like she’d went into a tunnel.. not very pleasant but I keep listening because the story was excellent!
