Lion Ben of Elm Island


Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(4.5 étoiles; 14 critiques)

An adventure story for boys, in which the author aims to "impart pleasure, and, at the same time, inspire respect for labor, integrity and every noble sentiment". There is a sense of nostalgia, as Kellogg sets his story in bygone days, when the grandfathers of his readers were mere boys, facing the challenges and perils of frontier life and developing the character needed to transform the wilderness in to the land of freedom and plenty. - Summary by Lynne Thompson (5 hr 24 min)

A wonderful tale of the early days in Maine


(5 étoiles)

Some readers were better than others, but this book is definitely worth a listen. Elijah Kellogg's books are full of good examples, good life lessons, and wonderful stories.
