Mag and Margaret: A Story for Girls by Pansy

mag_margaret_1203

Summary:?Little Mag Jessup is an orphan girl who works hard as a servant in Mrs. Perkins’ boarding house to earn her keep. She has no education, except what she has picked up on her own. Her future looks unchanging until she is given, on a whim, a devotional book called “Little Pillows,” in which she learns that she is valuable to God as His child. She endures trials from many fronts and the prejudice of haughty, rich Margaret, with whom she has more in common than she thinks, on her journey with God. (Introduction by TriciaG for Librivox)

To Have and to Hold by Mary Johnston

Summary: To Have and to Hold is historical fiction, portraying the lives of the first settlers at Jamestown, and it is one of my favorite books.? I’m so thrilled it is now available so we can offer it to you on My Audio School!

Full of exciting twists and turns, the language is so well-rendered that it is truly a pleasure to read. There were many times I found myself repeating certain phrases which seemed almost musical to my ear.

More than that, however, the book gives us heroes and heroines, as well as villains, to consider. To Have and to Hold, as its title would suggest, portrays a beautiful picture of the sanctity of marriage and of the nobility of a wife who embraces her husband’s vision, as well as a husband who cherishes his wife, even as he valiantly fights for her against all odds. You’ll gain a greater understanding of–and appreciation for–what the forefathers of our nation went through to forge the heritage we now enjoy. (Summary by Molly Evert)

Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Dragonfly, portrait of Vera Rapin, the artist's daughter, by Ilya Repin, public domain image

Summary: Understood Betsy is a 1916 novel for children by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. The story tells of Elizabeth Ann, a 9-year-old orphan who goes from a sheltered existence with her father’s aunt Harriet and cousin Frances in the city, to living on a Vermont farm with her mother’s family, the Putneys, whose child-rearing practices had always seemed suspect to Harriet and her daughter. In her new rural life, Elizabeth Ann comes to be nicknamed “Betsy,” and to find that many activities that Frances had always thought too demanding for a little girl are considered, by the Putney family, ordinary expectations for a child: walking to school alone, cooking, and having household duties to perform.

The child thrives in her new environment, learning to make butter, boil maple syrup, and tend the animals. When Frances announces she is to be married and has come to “save” Elizabeth Ann from the dreaded Putney cousins, she is amazed to discover that the little girl is quite content to stay. The story ends after Frances has returned home, with Betsy, her aunt Abigail, uncle Henry, and cousin Ann sitting quietly and happily around the fireplace enjoying the knowledge they will now be a family for good.

Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss

Spring Carl Larsson

Summary: “How dreadfully old I am getting! Sixteen!” Thus begins the lifelong diary of young Katherine as she pours out her hopes, dreams, and spiritual journey on the pages of her dear, old journal. Whimsical and charming Katherine is engagingly candid about her character flaws and her desire to know God. As you listen to her share her heart through these journal entries, you will be amazed and delighted by the depth of her character and the womanly wisdom and godliness she develops over the years. From the agonies of being a teenager to the delicate balancing act between being a wife/mother/daughter/neighbor, it is easy to relate to Katherine’s triumphs and trials whether you are 16 or 60. Listen to her unforgettable story set in the early 1800’s as you are encouraged to “step heavenward,” and don’t be surprised if you find yourself recommending it to all of your friends and family!(Introduction by Theresa Downey for Librivox)

Summary: This delightful novel begins when a family of five children moves from London to the English countryside. While playing in a gravel pit soon after the move, they discover an ancient and rather grumpy sand-fairy known as the Psammead, who agrees to grant one wish of theirs per day. The children’s wishes send them on adventure after adventure, but rarely turn out as expected. (Summary by Kara)
