I’ve always liked Joanna, but this takes my appreciation to an even higher level again, it’s so well read I simply can’t imagine anybody else reading the story now. Wonderful.
A huge THANK YOU! This is still my favorite book of all times. First read at the age of 6, I am now 70 years old (!) and there is nothing like it. SO comforting during these mad and scary world events and surreal times.
Thank you very much for posting this. I used to listen to this every night when visiting my grandmother’s house. She passed yesterday and I don’t even really know why I searched for it but I’m delighted to have found it and heard it again after nearly two decades.
Takes me back to growing up in Knightsbridge London and going to the Hampshire School Ennismore Gardens 1969 to 1972 Such wonderful times always warms my heart Joanna what a sparkling diamond can listen to her for hours So soothing! 💎😇🙏🌹💖🌹🎉🎊🎡🎢🎠
I’m absolutely in heaven! What a joy, beautifully read, wonderful voice and accent for this story. This is the first time I’ve heard this as an audiobook, and I’m loving it. Thank you very much for uploading this, I really appreciate it!
