A GARLAND FOR GIRLS by Louisa May Alcott (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“[Alcott] caters to all audiences, regardless of age and gender.” (Jennifer Michelle, Amazon.com customer review of Little Women)

Louisa May Alcott’s lively and heartwarming stories are favorites with young readers everywhere. This delightful collection is based on real live children whom the author knew. Rich girls, poor girls, haughty girls, timid girls, clever girls and silly girls—all the sorts of girls who make up a world float through these pages.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® Award-winning narrator, C.M. Hébert. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“The constant shifts of locale and situation present narrator Hébert with an excellent showcase for her range of talents. She dramatically presents many accents (her French is great) and the very different family members, as well as the various reactions to their shared fate.” (AudioFile, reviewing Calico Captive by Elizabeth George Speare)
