Subject: Uplifting and wholesome little story
What an absolute treasure! This is an uplifting and wholesome little story, made truly special by the flawless narration of the reader, Sibella Denton. 'Barbara in Brittany' is a gem of a sweet little tale about the adventures of a resourceful, thoughtful and self-sufficient young lady. Barbara, on the cusp of young womanhood, looks for the positive in every situation while dealing with the negative in an entertainingly quick-witted, spirited and plucky manner. An irrepressibly positive story!
