So lovely!

Helen Taylor has such a beautiful reading voice and style! And the fact that she obviously knows French as the section where they go to France has accurate accents :) Thank you!!

Five stars!

Loved the Book!!!

The book held a wonderful story, with adventure, laughter, sadness, and love. It is a beautiful story, and I recommend it to any personage who is patient enough to begin listening. Once you do, you won’t regret it. I will say, though that at first the narrating was a bit hollow sounding, if you take my meaning. But I soon got used to that, and was able to enjoy the story quite nicely.

Another fine, fine reader

I rarely read children's fiction. As far as I'm concerned, Hogwarts is a matter for the veterinarian. However, seeing good reviews for this reader, I made an exception - an am delighted I did! Helen is a gifted voice talent who (if she chose) could make a career of it. It's to be hoped she plans many more solo reads for LibriVox.

Such a lovely heartwarming story! The reader is superb and the second installment of what happened with the five children was so very much fun that we had to buy a hardcopy after listening to this.

Helen Taylor does is an outstanding narrator. Her pleasant voice and beautifully spoken RP English elucidated this charming story.
