Interesting story line kept me listening

The story line is great, but the overall tone is a bit simpering. Made sense when I learned that it was written in the 1800s

Beautiful

I love this story I recommend it and the first one to anyone and everyone. You enjoy it as much as I have.

Lovely Story with Excellent narration

But by today’s standards parts of the father-daughter relationship felt borderline creepy, almost incestuous

A Continuing Great Story

The Story of Elsie continues in it suspense and trials... Elsie's continued love and obedience to her father make these books great for character development in younger readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the references to God and the acting out of their faith.

I wish Audible had the other stories of Elsie on audio...

Such a wonderfully written story with beautiful Christian virtue!

Such a wonderfully written story with beautiful Christian virtues. Captivating! Affords many great conversations with my daughter!
