Great Read

This is such a brilliant story for young and old alike. The narrator performed very well and her voice and expression was very fitting to the story.

my favourite childhood book

I have read and memorised this book from childhood. Love it! the narration was clear and crisp but perhaps lacking a little tone variety. the narrator tried to do different voices and inflections but it still sounded just a tad monotonous. That said, it is still one of the better narrations available and was enjoyable all the same.

Heart touching

I liked the book when I was younger, loved listening to it as an adult. It's encouraging and sweet. Loved it and the narrator.

Enchanting for all ages

I loved this story as a child, and it's still a delight. Loved the narration, too. A lovely story for all ages.

Loved it.

This is a little old fashioned and the depiction of the Indian people is not appropriate, but the story itself is heartwarming.

A great read!

Beautiful story, well narrated! Hard to stop listening- very compelling..Every girl 8-100 would love it.

Classic Story, Very Fitting Narration
