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.

Great book and reader

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!

On whose behalf - certainly not ours. Maybe on your behalf so you get more income ????? You seem to be posting the same thing in a number of our projects so it does look rather that way.
