I LOVE THIS STORY! I am a 10 year old who is very into Librivox. I hope that when I grow up I will be as good a reader as you, Miss or Mrs Savage.
Delightful and satisfying.

This is the kind of story that encourages us to carry on amidst hardships. The children's focus was what seemed conducted them through thier great sorrow into courageous behavior.
Loved it!

Feb 2019 Listened to it again. Wonderful book and wonderful reader. Ten stars! I did think that the anti-Russian political aspects of the book - the rescued Russian ex Siberian convict, and Father's false incarceration for spying for Russia - this was before the Bolsheviks seized power - was rather incongruous with the rest of the book. Interesting analysis of the book here (of special interest to the Bookworm reviewer below): https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/mar/26/theatre.booksforchildrenandteenagers May 4, 2014 It's great, and Karen Savage does the best reading job ever!

Delightful...simply delightful. This is ostensibly a simple tale of exploration by 3 young children in the English countryside during an age where the innocence of youth still thrived. However..the narrator was absolutely perfect for this story...and then for the book itself....I really enjoyed the strong character development and the various scenes of heroic response. Loved it!!

there was a moment in the second to last chapter where the mother claimed that we are all in a book written by God. It took this book from being almost sugary sweet to making me think. I love a book that makes me think
