A Little Country Girl
Susan Coolidge
Read by Lynne T
Candace makes the first long trip of her young life alone. Everything is new, from the ocean views, to the fashionable people she encounters; from the museum-like home, to the unfamiliar cousins. How will she adapt to the new experiences and will she overcome the homesickness she feels? Will she adapt her country ways and enter society, or be an embarrassment to her fine relations? Etiquette and style can be learned; but kindness, common sense and a loving heart are inbred. (Summary by Lynne Thompson) (4 hr 47 min)

Reviews
beautiful!
A LibriVox Listener
True Susan Coolidge! After eagerly following the What Katy Did series, l was ready for more of her work! A gorgeous story, with a slight morale and emphasis on the beauty of home and family. A lot like Lucy Maud Montgomery's An Old Fashioned Girl. At first l didn't like the reader, but soon got used to and even enjoyed her. I hope you like it!
A jewel
