Acerca de esta escucha

From the pen of Kate Douglas Wiggin (Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm) comes this heartwarming story of Margaret Carey and her four children - or "chickens" as the author often refers to them.

The sudden death of the father of the family results in the drastic reduction of the Careys' income and they must leave their comfortable home in Boston. Nancy Carey, the eldest, recalls a vacation in Maine when they all picnicked in the garden of a big, vacant house that her father loved. She discovers that the house is available, the rent is cheap, and persuades her mother that life in The Yellow House in Beulah, Maine is the perfect place to begin their new life.

Mother Carey is a model of strength and wisdom (think Marmee from Little Women) but her children exhibit all the growing pains: Nancy is brimming with enthusiastic and not always practical plans; Gilbert resents moving to a small town and having his dream of college disappear; Kitty is overly sensitive; and coddled young Peter has to learn to do things for himself. Add to that, prim and snotty cousin Julia and visits from acerbic, critical cousin Ann, and Mother Carey has her hands full!

Soon The Yellow House becomes a welcoming oasis for Beulah's quirky inhabitants. A window into the joys and travails of country life of a century ago, Mother Carey's Chickens delighted everyone including Walt Disney, who adapted it for his 1963 movie Summer Magic starring Hayley Mills as Nancy.

Pure Magic

The story is a delight from beginning to end, and the narrator makes each character come wonderfully alive.

The book was better than Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm

I enjoyed it from page one through out the entirety. I expected to.be bored towords the end but I was not. And the narrator! Oh my! So many voices, even in singing she stayed true to character. Be prepared to have a wonderful book in your possession.

Innocents and relationship

Awesome story for those who want to escape from our noisy internet world. It’s a story for those who believe in genuine relationship and regard for others.

If you enjoyed the Disney movie “ Magic Summer” then you must read the book. It entertaining to observe how Disney gently twisted the narrative.

Excellent Performance!

The reading (NOT narration) by Anne Hancock is among the best I have heard on Audible. I listened to this book once on a multi-day road trip and began to listen again immediately after finishing it. Now if only Audible would stop saying "narration" when they mean "reading," the world of audio books would be a much better place!

Better Version of Disney Summer Magic.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book.. I really enjoyed the movie summer magic and when I found out this book was what the movie was based on I wanted to read it. I enjoyed it a lot more than I had anticipated. Very long and descriptive descriptive sentences it may be very hard for some people to get into. I ,however, enjoyed the flowery descriptive sentences Because even though it was written in times past it feels like you're actually listening to somebody talk in that era.
