(4.7 stars; 19 reviews)

When two life sized carved lions from the east are given as a gift to an English household, the children of the house are enchanted, especially when the lions come to life and help take care of them. This is a delightful book for young girls but retains some adult appeal. The author Mrs Molesworth has been called "the Jane Austen of the nursery. (Summary by Ilianthe) (3 hr 46 min)

Critiques


(5 stars)

I thought this book was delightful and even though there were several readers, if the reading speeds are adjusted, the change in readers wasn't an issue.

A beautiful story, perfect for older children and adults. Sentimental and lovely. Strong readers.
