A NECKLACE OF RAINDROPS and Other Stories

by Joan Aiken | Read by Lizza Aiken

Children Ages 6+ • 1.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2009

This collection of eight short stories contains gentle tales of fantasy and magic--not the magic of wizards and wands, but of wishing mats and enormous cats and gifts brought by the winds. In a lovely English accent, Lizza Aiken quietly narrates these stories in which magic and good fortune often come to those who deserve it. Although her pitch changes little, she registers a range of emotions--from the sadness of a girl whose necklace of raindrops has been stolen to the joy of a child who moves from a hard life and a ramshackle trailer to a happy home amid the clouds. A NECKLACE OF RAINDROPS would make a soothing choice for a family car trip after a long day. L.T. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2016]
