'Tilda Jane's Orphans

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,563 Sterne; 32 Bewertungen)

When the story of 'Tilda Jane appeared serially in The Youth's Companion in 1901, the original manuscript was very much condensed. When the time for book publication arrived nearly all the omitted matter was restored. However, some incidents were still left out, and they have formed the beginning of a new story written to please the many boys and girls who have expressed a wish to know something more of the fortunes of the orphan and her dogs.

That the orphan's old friends will follow with interest, her often groping and stumbling, yet never-wearying steps along the path of uplift for human beings and dumb creatures, is the earnest hope of the author. (Marshall Saunders - from the Prefatory Note) (8 hr 20 min)

Precious Story

(5 Sterne)

Great Readers, especially John. I Love this sweet story. Never a dull moment. Be sure and listen to the first story about Tilda Jane before this one. They are both very heart warming❤️

Sweet, Sentimental

(4 Sterne)

I enjoyed this turn-of-the-century story about a girl, her dogs, and the rag-tag family they create. Good showing of values and morals from Maine with humor and sweetness sprinkled in. Good job, readers!
