Critiques
good stories well presented

Thank you to a talented group of narrators. All were enjoyable to listen to and offered an understanding of the local dialect that brought the stories to life.

This is a lovely treasure up there with little women and little house on the prairie. The author’s real life adventures far exceed this one book and are worth discovering.
