Great children's adaptation of this classic book. Humorous and dramatic. Lovely illustrations. I enjoyed reading it with my daughter.

[Slow Man · Rating 4 out of 5]

I never read this. Something always holds me back. Until now.
A reluctant reader will be able to read this short story with ease.

[Chombi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read the long version novel but this young series also interesting to read.

[Wilde Sky · Rating 3 out of 5]

Four sisters grow up during the American civil war.

A good story but the short / abridged version I read lacked depth.
