Although description doesn't say, first in this quaint series.
Fun, sweet story
Clover
Lovely book and an incredible reader - she brings all the characters to life with their own distinctive voices, and reads with so much energy. The reading makes the story far more enjoyable than it would be otherwise - and it's a great story in itself! :)
it's a very good book and I love the reader

The reader did a wonderful job. This story about a family coming together in hard times and loving each other during every second of it has always been one of my favorites. A classic.
