Really good book

Lovely!

Thank you so much Miss Gaige! This is one of my favorite books, and it was such a joy to have an audio version to listen to. I'm so much more likely to reread books that way. As for the English 'accent', that's how the words are written out in the book. So a reader would not be to blame for saying them oddly.

Love family friends great morals, and the love of God in every paragraph, what more can we ask for out of a story ? The only thing I can think of is a great nar reader This one had it all Definitely worth listening to and maybe even a few more times though out life. awesome!


(5 stars)

Laddie is a story loosely based on the author’s childhood experiences. It is a little wordy in places, but overall it is written well. Porter tells a story of how the love of God triumphs over hardship. The morals are strong and come through well. I grew up on this book and love it still.


(5 stars)

I love this story. it is told with such winsome frankness and good humor on the part of the youngest member of the family that it keeps one's interest. I thoroughly enjoy this author and have read most of her work. I just wish she had written more books!

Gene Stratton Porter is a top notch writer. Stories with excellent morals that capture the hearts of the listeners from young to old at our house. Thanks to Librivox for offering these good clean books!

(5 stars)

I absolutely loved listening to this book! The reader does an outstanding job! She is excellent! Such a sweet story about growing up in a big family on a farm during the turn of the century. I have loved all of the books by this author, but I think this is my favorite so far.
