Reviews
Georgia Peach
Lovely, sweet stories of summer and childhood, growing and changing viewed thru the rose-hued glasses of yesteryear.
Anne of green gables, it is not.
A LibriVox Listener
Written by the author of Anne of Green Gables. Rich history and language, a story of children thrown together for a summer. Wonderful tales, folklore and fables woven into their days by The Story Girl. Any age should enjoy this, but 10-14 will identify with it.
beautiful and hilarious!

This book had me laughing the entire time! All of the readers did a pretty good job. The story line was classic Montgomery and very funny. Perfect for listening to while coloring, sewing, or driving! Enjoy!
Wonderful Book.
