Review: Four and a half stars for a classic, with an excellent Audible narration

This particular edition of A LITTLE PRINCESS is worthy of consideration partly because the excellent corresponding narration, by Virginia Lieshman, is available from Audible.com.  It has WhisperSync, so you can switch back and forth between reading and listening without losing your place.I actually decided to listen to this because Shirley Temple, who starred in the movie, passed away that day.  It’s quite similar to the movie, albeit with a few major alterations in the plot.  Frances Hodgson Burnett was an excellent writer (THE SECRET GARDEN is a favorite of mine), and although this novel is very old-fashioned and the plot is fraught with coincidence, I still enjoyed it greatly.  Ms. Lieshman’s narration is excellent.
