For sixty years Eleanor Estes’ classic novel about a family struggling to get along in the early part of the century has charmed and delighted readers with its warmth and gentle humor. Now it comes to life in a full cast recording that will have you laughing out loud-and occasionally wiping away a tear. Our whole cast fell in love with this book, and we predict that you will, too.
This charming work by Newbury Award winner Eleanor Estes portrays the daily lives of a widow and her four children in the fictitious town of Cranbury, Connecticut. The tales may seem to be from a more innocent time: one of the Moffat girls is scared to death of the police chief because she thinks she's been rude to him, the two boys hitch a ride on the train to the next town, the children enjoy the fun of Halloween pranks. The performances are splendid. A woman with a clear and winsome voice performs the narrative. The characters are performed by individual cast members every bit as winsomely and with great verve.
