Horatio Alger Junior was an ancestor of mine

I have read several of his books… This is my first audible experience… Always a learning tool and a lesson learned in his books…

Great story terrible narration

After listening to Ragged Dick, which was amazing, this is really lacking in performance. I will finish listening to it but OMG the fact that the narrator never fluctuates between characters makes it very difficult to focus and follow along it also makes it har to be drawn to the characters.
I’m grateful I got to meet some of the main characters in the first book by a different narrator.
