I loved your reading 📚 of this beautiful story, It is different than the TV. It is much more enjoyable listening to you read. I will read the others as well.
I enjoyed your reading of The Secret Garden so much, I've listened maybe a dozen times. Sleeping and dreaming at various times throughout. I'm giving this one a try now, hoping to enjoy it as much. Thank you so much for posting these. My name is Darlene, and I live in a little town in central Virginia in the US. I thought you might appreciate knowing ❤
Wonderful experience to hear this beautiful story. I’m French but I was able to understand everything! It was so nice! I have also heard “the secret garden” and I must say that you are amazing! Thank you so much for what you do.
This book was so important to me as i child. I read it again and again. Then, I had somehow forgotten the name of it and lost it. Now, here in my 55th year, the fairy story is back in my life. How wonderful.
Am now 68 and just now fouñd this beàutiful story so amasingly read. My bèautiful son played first the secret gardrden on adua Book and now this both by the same author think I love them both.
I remember someone else commented on your The Secret Garden audiobook, calling it "gentle depression therapy". So these are not my words but I couldn't have said it any better. This audiobook is the same!! It's such a beautiful story and your narration makes it come to life like no one else can. I get 'sucked' into Sara's life as soon as I hear your voice and that escape from my own life is always here on RUclips when I need it. Thanks to you!! I've said it before but I'm so so grateful for your work. You rock 💪🏻
Ahh yes, that was a beautiful comment from Inexhaustible Receiver! I couldn't ask for higher praise. All credit though to Burnett's delightful writing! Thanks to you Lisanne, you've been so warm and encouraging throughout my sharing of these chapters 😊
Very true! I'm kind of depressed tonight. It's been 4 years since I've seen my son, and I've had to listen to my sister going on and on the past month about packing her son off to college. Not that I'm jealous; I love my nephews. It's just too much salt and lemon juice in a cut sometimes. So I decided I'd listen to this again tonight. Just anything to change my thoughts. I wish it was true; that the worst thing never quite happens, lol. And I wish there was someone to make magic for me. But at least I have this to listen to ( for probably the 10th time lol) and this gives me great comfort. Thank you Stephen ❤. You help more people than you know.
@@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037 Hey you may feel better listening to "My Times are in Your Hands," a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It has helped me immeasurably. There are a ton of other Spurgeon sermons on youtube as well🙏🏽
Even though I'm a 25 year old woman, this story makes me feel better about life whenever I hear it ^^ kindness is so important ✨ we need it like we need sleep and food
Thank you so much Steven. You are such a wonderful reader! I have enjoyed this so much. I am 73 years old and live alone and my nights are so much happier and less lonely now that I have found you. I first listened (2 times) to The Secret Garden, the favorite book of my childhood. Now a new story for me, The Little Princess. Thank you for your delightful story telling! 💜☮️ I just heard you ask what other books we would like to hear. Withering Hights would be fabulous! Thank you once again.
This is my second story that I have read with you and I have really enjoyed it. I have ADHD and find it difficult to read books. I find myself drifting off and this gets so annoying. Rather than enjoying the story I end up putting the book down and that's the end of that. If I can explain how it feels to me it's like watching a really interesting TV programme and someone keeps changing the channel. It really sends me potty! But the way that you've done this story, with the pages showing, I have read it with you. When I have veered off in my own head for a while I have been able to catch up straight away. This is the winner for me and I thank you for it! Just to let you know that my ADHD is quietly controlled by myself. I have found that it is very hard for adults to understand how it effects adults. I'm 56yrs old, my sons are 34 and 36, we all deal differently with it but none of us 'fixed'. I believe that my grandson is now going along the spectrum and has 6yrs old. I hope that during his school years new ways are found to keep him in-line with his mates at school. Thank you.
Dear reader, such a wonderful story and read by a really great person. I'm sorry I didn't discover this book in my childhood. Now finally I have discovered it at 81 years of age. A sincere thank you.
As a child I had a paperback from Scholastic Books called Sara Crewe, and read it many times. I never did read the actual novel. I’m enjoying this as much as I did The Secret Garden.
My dad read this to me, when I was a very young child.. This whole time while I was listening to this, I got to relive those pleasant moments once more.
I also was read this as a little girl by my grandfather whom passed away and it brings back fond memories of him of hot chocolate, biscuits and the love of my grandfather.
This book was a lifeline to me as a child. I don't know what made me think to look for it as a bedtime audio story, but I am so grateful for your work! I even cried at the same parts.
I love both this book and The Secret Garden. I have been listening to one or the other or both every night for two years. You sir, are my David protecting me from all the Goliath's of this world. Bless you. I will listen to you soon.
I came here from a secret garden after thoroughly enjoying the whole experience, I am currently on chapter 4 and I can't stop listening! I love it so to get lost in a good book, it is the finest form of escapism any person can find, especially when anxious or struggling to relax. I hope everybody reading has a good day/night and can relax as I am to this wonderful tale. Thankyou very much steven for providing such magical audio too 😊
Mr Garnett....I am moved to tears by your masterful reading of this enchanting story.. I am grieving the loss of my mum and find myself looking back to innocent childhood times when I read classic books like this. You have more than done it justice with your gentle voice and familiar accent although I sadly live far away from my once beautiful native home..I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to reading your other offerings very very much. Thank you for giving me this joy. I have no doubt that I will want to listen to this again very soon.. Sending you many good wishes from Ontario Canada..
I feel a deep inner healing of my mind , body and soul as I listen to your magic of creating a living 3d reality from the words in this book! I have been sick in bed for 5 days and am listen to heal my stress. Thank you for sharing your gift of your voice and the care you give to bringing stories alive! 🙏👍🪷🌎🦜🎶🌼🌞🙏🏻🌙👍🏼🧚🦋🦚🐸🏵☀️🐞🎶
Amazing! I never heard a story read with so much emotional expression. It kept me enthralled to the end. Thank you very much. I'm off in search of more of your readings now. 🥰
I read what I could find about Ms. Burnett on Wikipedia, and was delighted and amazed 1:42:22 to find that she’s written quite a bit! Is there any chance, Mr.Garnett, that you would favor us with readings of some of her lesser known work? We would be forever grateful.
I never thought I would ever like to "read" audiobooks, but you've made me fall in love with them! I love love love your style of reading, and this little video is so cozy. Thank you so very much 💕
I just literally having many anxiety this weekend, and i (dunno-just randomly) looking for audiobook. I found your The Secret Garden audiobook and now i became addicted to your channel. Truely Amazing! Im sorry if my grammar is bad, im not a native english speaker:)
Thank you so much for this! I am injured and don't get out like I used to, and have found your videos to be wonderful company while I heal. I was delighted to see this book in the lineup, as it was one of my favorite as a little girl, and I've greatly enjoyed it! I hope you'll do more from the Bronte Sisters, I think your voice works beautifully for literary classics like these. Thank you again! ☀️🌼✨
Oh my goodness ! Heidi and Jane Eyre please xx May I suggest you alert the people of Hawarth . They will promote your audiobook readings concentrating initially the Bronzes books.. Oh my goodness I'm so excited at the thought of you presenting Jane Eyre in particular. I read the Charles Dickens and Bronte series each year. Since I was twelve yrs old I am now 71 yrs old. And each time i read these books I find new meanings, a new eloquence and appreciation for such beauty to the written word . I await with bated breathe. Xxxx you have a gift. A gift of bringing books to life in a way each author has meant each individual book to be interpreted , in its true essence
You always do a beautiful job and we are forever grateful, not just for your lovely narration ,but for the heart that this comes from. ❤ May you be blessed for your generous spirit. 💘
Right I love that added touch as well … there was this one ungrateful man fussing in the comments saying “ just read the darn book already no need for all the talking in between each chapt-blah blah blah he went on .. all I can picture him looking like is Colin before Mary found him and the magic of the garden gave him life 😂 if you het my drift 🙄🙄🙄 .. as if he’s old this treasure 🙄 the nerve of some entitled people really peed me off because thats one of the things I appreciate most about his readings ❤😊 … Farewell dear Elli …
I have never heard theses stories before , and honestly thought i would not enjoy listening to them, but have really enjoyed listening to you telling the stories. The Secret Garden and the Little Princess. A very big thank you .
It was such a kind story! The way you gently read it made me feel l am drinking a honey tea each time I was listening to you. I felt so warm! Thank you! Stories like these keep my soul from freezing ❄️
Thank you Steven, your read of this The Little Princess and The secret Garden are just outstanding, you put so much into it and it becomes addictive to not stop listening to them! Yes I would love to listen to many more great stories, keep up the great work, you are a fantastic reader and a natural at it! I am glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much for making this available to us. I have vision problems and have limited ability to read a book. This way with book pages in view and turning pages snd your reading is the next best thing!!!
Secret Garden and Little Princess is my all time favorite book.Classics are not something people from my part of the world really appreciate. I sleep and wake up to your voice everyday. Thank you.Please consider reading Railway childrens too if you can.I have a feeling you would love it.Cause I do ...ohhh I so do ...the act of kindness and appreciation for little things in life never seems to amaze me. And anything from Jane Austen Please!!!! ❤️🌼
Loved your readings of both books! This book was my favorite book in junior high school, so much so that I insisted my new baby sister be named Sarah! I’ve told all my family to listen to Steven’s channel! Thank you!
I remember coming across this channel from the Secret Garden audiobook. I came across "A Little Princess" from another audiobook channel and was like "I wish that guy who did the Secret Garden would read this one too!"
Steven, thanks so much for the wonderful gift of your narration of one of my MOST favorite books from childhood. I have read and reread this story so many times over the years. It's a comfort to me, like spending time with an old friend. Now that I've discovered your channel, I love this story even more. You bring it to life beautifully and I love how you've captured the nuances of each character. The music and your soothing voice make this a great bedtime story to rest my weary mind during a difficult time of great sadness in my life. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I hope to contribute or join you on Patreon when I can afford to do that. I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to create this beautiful work and share it with so many. ❤
The Brontë sisters would be wonderful to hear you read. I’m looking forward to Anne of Green Gables as well. Thank you for the Secret Garden and for A little Princess. They were childhood favourites that I hadn’t thought of in years. You brought them to life beautifully! You have a soothing and expressive voice that really makes the stories a joy to listen to. You are a very skilled reader and I love your take on different accents. Thank you … I’m so glad that I found you!
This was wonderful! I totally enjoyed it! You do such a great job reading. It's so relaxing, so fantastic. My boys that I homeschool listen as well and they really enjoyed it one of them even made the comment, "Old books are so good!" I thank you so much for all of the magic you brought to our lives we started with The Secret Garden, I listen while I paint I finished one portrait and I'm about to work on another one and I just really enjoyed listening to you through it all💙🎨💙!
I always enjoy listening to you audiobook. I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Secret Garden’ and ‘Little Princess’, because I love Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novels. I love ‘ Little Lord Fauntleroy’ also. I hope you can make audiobook on ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ also. I am really looking forward to listening to it. I think you are the best.
Just finished listening.. I've been turning this on for quite a few nights now to help me get to sleep. I was very very fond of the movie since childhood, but though I'm an avid reader I somehow never read the book. I'm glad your reading was my first time discovering the story. I couldn't imagine a more magical, moving experience.
Starting with the movies, and then the book, this has always been one of my favorite stories growing up. Thanks so much for your reading and allowing me to listen to it again.
Aw, I first heard of this story from the ‘90’s movie rendition and then read the books over and over again throughout my preteens. As soon as I heard him say “Papa” I remembered how heart wrenching that last scene was and how badly I wished I could have my dad. Oof for the premature feels…. I’m not tearing up. Nope, especially not only 10 minutes into the story remembering it all 😞😭😭
Marvellous creation, marvellous interpretation. Any Oscars’ categories for reading stories? It ought to be added to 2024 Oscars and this should be awarded. My first encounter with this book took place more than 55 years ago. For whatever reason, I remember (it appears wrongly) that the father was found alive. Maybe the translation to my childhood language wasn’t fully accurate or my memory serves me wrong. Anyone can help to solve this conundrum? Steven - BIG thank you. Your work brought peace to my mind in those uneasy times.
What a wonderful reading, you make the amazing book come alive😍I listen to your books during my job so that I can tell them to my little sister in her own words. You help me to get through a lot! Please, keep reading! Thank you so much!
I think I'm in love with you! Just kidding! I first heard you read The secret garden. Now I have finished listening to you read the little princess. I am amazed at how quickly you can change your voice when different characters are in a conversation! I would like to hear you read the original wizard of Oz by Frank l. B Baun. Like The secret garden I read The wizard of Oz. I remember being enthralled by The secret garden and have a thought of it often in the past 60 years! You are a wonderful reader of books! I look forward to listening to your next one. As a matter of fact, I can't wait! Thank you again for sharing your enjoyment in reading these novels.
So lovely, soothing and wonderfully read with such a passion for dialect nuances. From a fan living in 🇲🇽 Mexico. Also enjoyed "A Secret Garden" My childhood absolute fond favorite. Thank you for your dedicated art of voice which brings a grand enjoyment. AMAZING 👏
Both your narration of this story and ‘The Secret Garden’ are wonderful ! Calming, soft tones; you bring the story alive with the characters which are well-crafted and jump off the page . My 4 yr old and I are recovering from flu and it is an easier process listening to your readings !
This is simply wonderful! A wonderful story and a marvelous reading of it. I listened to your reading of The Secret Garden earlier this year and loved it, but I think I may enjoy this story a wee bit more. It's so precious.
How absolutely fabulous, thank you for sharing these beautiful stories, I am delighted to have discovered them and very grateful that you've made them available. Thank you
Thank you for reading this! This was probably my most favourite book when I was little. Sara is such a strong character, and I really enjoy that about her. I haven't read this story in a long while, and I really appreciate you making it available to listen to. Keep up the good work!
I have love both your secret garden and now a little princess! thank you I drive a truck for a living and have found I like this so much more than hearing the same music over again and again... do you have anymore that are simular to these 2 stories?!? and thank you so much again! you narrate so beautifully! it puts me right there, I can see it in my mind when you are telling the story! 🤍
Should I listen to the whole book for a second time? Yes of course I will. One of my comfort reads as it is. Just wonderful to have you read it Steven. Would you consider other classics, or modern classics, like Rebecca or the Count of Montecristo?
That's the spirit! 😂 Thanks so much! Absolutely, The Count of Monte Cristo has been requested quite a few times so it's one I'm strongly considering. I'm sure Rebecca would be popular too, although it will still be under copyright by the looks of it. Apparently there are some striking similarities between Rebecca and Bronte's Jane Eyre - are you a fan of that one?
@@redfoxvoice Oh drat, I didn't know Rebecca was under copyright. Yes there are some similarities but I wouldn't count Jane Eyre as gothic fiction. It's very good though!

One of the best stories read by THE BEST NARRATOR!
He and Neil Gammon ( sp?) Are my two favorite narrators with the touch that only a British dialect can pull me into the story or lull me to sleep
What can I say... thank you Shannon... you're the best!
@Shanon Kobayashi AGREED!!!
But the back ground music... oh!! It stopped !!!!!! THANK THE LORD. This narration is quite exquisite.

I read what I could find about Ms. Burnett on Wikipedia, and was delighted and amazed 1:42:22 to find that she’s written quite a bit! Is there any chance, Mr.Garnett, that you would favor us with readings of some of her lesser known work? We would be forever grateful.
I never thought I would ever like to "read" audiobooks, but you've made me fall in love with them! I love love love your style of reading, and this little video is so cozy. Thank you so very much 💕
I just literally having many anxiety this weekend, and i (dunno-just randomly) looking for audiobook. I found your The Secret Garden audiobook and now i became addicted to your channel. Truely Amazing! Im sorry if my grammar is bad, im not a native english speaker:)
Thank you so much for this!
I am injured and don't get out like I used to, and have found your videos to be wonderful company while I heal. I was delighted to see this book in the lineup, as it was one of my favorite as a little girl, and I've greatly enjoyed it!
I hope you'll do more from the Bronte Sisters, I think your voice works beautifully for literary classics like these.
Thank you again! ☀️🌼✨
What a wonderful narrator you are. Thankyou. Thoroughly enjoyed. Love to hear little women
Awesome in every way! Thank you for sharing!!
Oh my goodness ! Heidi and Jane Eyre please xx
May I suggest you alert the people of Hawarth . They will promote your audiobook readings concentrating initially the Bronzes books.. Oh my goodness I'm so excited at the thought of you presenting Jane Eyre in particular. I read the Charles Dickens and Bronte series each year. Since I was twelve yrs old I am now 71 yrs old. And each time i read these books I find new meanings, a new eloquence and appreciation for such beauty to the written word . I await with bated breathe. Xxxx you have a gift. A gift of bringing books to life in a way each author has meant each individual book to be interpreted , in its true essence
You always do a beautiful job and we are forever grateful, not just for your lovely narration ,but for the heart that this comes from. ❤
May you be blessed for your generous spirit. 💘
You are so kind Marian... thank you for saying that!
@@redfoxvoice I meant it and truly believe that my compliment was meant from a large concert crowd as well!
Your soothing voice and dramatization bring me joy. I'm binging all your works these days. Keep up the great work. :)
Sweet, the full version! I love the musical transitions between the chapters, it creates such a beautiful ambiance to the story ❤️
Love to hear it - thanks Ellinor! 👌👌
Yes, and the song is so bautiful.
Right I love that added touch as well … there was this one ungrateful man fussing in the comments saying “ just read the darn book already no need for all the talking in between each chapt-blah blah blah he went on .. all I can picture him looking like is Colin before Mary found him and the magic of the garden gave him life 😂 if you het my drift 🙄🙄🙄 .. as if he’s old this treasure 🙄 the nerve of some entitled people really peed me off because thats one of the things I appreciate most about his readings ❤😊 … Farewell dear Elli …
I love the music and rapport with this lovely reader we get to develop. Don't ever stop the music or little comments please 🙏 😊
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for your hard working putting this together, I suffer from PTSD and your soothing voice calms me.
I have never heard theses stories before , and honestly thought i would not enjoy listening to them, but have really enjoyed listening to you telling the stories. The Secret Garden and the Little Princess. A very big thank you .
It was such a kind story! The way you gently read it made me feel l am drinking a honey tea each time I was listening to you. I felt so warm! Thank you!
Stories like these keep my soul from freezing ❄️
What a beautiful story, made a grown woman cry. Thank you!
So very beautiful 💕🎶 Thank you so very much for sharing your gift. FATHER GOD richly Bless you and yours indeed.🌹
Thank you Steven, your read of this The Little Princess and The secret Garden are just outstanding, you put so much into it and it becomes addictive to not stop listening to them!
Yes I would love to listen to many more great stories, keep up the great work, you are a fantastic reader and a natural at it! I am glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much. My daughter and I greatly enjoyed this.
Thank you so much for making this available to us. I have vision problems and have limited ability to read a book. This way with book pages in view and turning pages snd your reading is the next best thing!!!
Secret Garden and Little Princess is my all time favorite book.Classics are not something people from my part of the world really appreciate. I sleep and wake up to your voice everyday. Thank you.Please consider reading Railway childrens too if you can.I have a feeling you would love it.Cause I do ...ohhh I so do ...the act of kindness and appreciation for little things in life never seems to amaze me. And anything from Jane Austen Please!!!! ❤️🌼
Loved your readings of both books! This book was my favorite book in junior high school, so much so that I insisted my new baby sister be named Sarah! I’ve told all my family to listen to Steven’s channel! Thank you!
I love love LOVE listening to your readings! Thank you so much.
A wonderful story indeed! Thank you for reading this.
It's fun to catch a glimpse of the narrator himself getting into character just by seeing his hand gestures.
Thanks!
Thank you! That's very kind!
Just like the secret garden, this is a enchanting beautiful story, and you read it so beautifully👏
Thank you so much❤️🌹
I remember coming across this channel from the Secret Garden audiobook. I came across "A Little Princess" from another audiobook channel and was like "I wish that guy who did the Secret Garden would read this one too!"
Haha! Well I couldn't let you down! 😁
Sara is such an amazing humble kind girl. Wish more people where like here in real life
Steven, thanks so much for the wonderful gift of your narration of one of my MOST favorite books from childhood. I have read and reread this story so many times over the years. It's a comfort to me, like spending time with an old friend. Now that I've discovered your channel, I love this story even more. You bring it to life beautifully and I love how you've captured the nuances of each character. The music and your soothing voice make this a great bedtime story to rest my weary mind during a difficult time of great sadness in my life. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I hope to contribute or join you on Patreon when I can afford to do that. I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to create this beautiful work and share it with so many. ❤
I love everything about your stories... your voice is so calming and done so well with each character. THANK YOU
I love listening to you read these wonderful stories. They always help me to drift off to sleep and the feeling of nostalgia is heart warming 💞
Just outstanding... Thank you! ❤
I really like your informal approach, talking with your audience as well as reading to us. Thank you !
The Brontë sisters would be wonderful to hear you read. I’m looking forward to Anne of Green Gables as well. Thank you for the Secret Garden and for A little Princess. They were childhood favourites that I hadn’t thought of in years. You brought them to life beautifully! You have a soothing and expressive voice that really makes the stories a joy to listen to. You are a very skilled reader and I love your take on different accents. Thank you … I’m so glad that I found you!
Excellent reading Steven and I am very grateful I found your channel. Right up there with the secret garden!
Thanks so much Cathy! Wonderful to hear!
This was wonderful! I totally enjoyed it! You do such a great job reading. It's so relaxing, so fantastic. My boys that I homeschool listen as well and they really enjoyed it one of them even made the comment, "Old books are so good!" I thank you so much for all of the magic you brought to our lives we started with The Secret Garden, I listen while I paint I finished one portrait and I'm about to work on another one and I just really enjoyed listening to you through it all💙🎨💙!
Absolutely outstanding! You are so incredibly talented!!!!!!
I always enjoy listening to you audiobook. I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Secret Garden’ and ‘Little Princess’, because I love Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novels. I love ‘ Little Lord Fauntleroy’ also. I hope you can make audiobook on ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ also. I am really looking forward to listening to it. I think you are the best.
This one is my second favorite of your readings. I come back to listen time and time again.❤
Just finished listening.. I've been turning this on for quite a few nights now to help me get to sleep. I was very very fond of the movie since childhood, but though I'm an avid reader I somehow never read the book. I'm glad your reading was my first time discovering the story. I couldn't imagine a more magical, moving experience.
Absolutely beautiful, Steven. I've listened to it several times now over the last few months. It brings back my childhood.
Your audiobooks are my new addiction. Love to listen to them while working. Thank you for such wonderful readings.
Steven you are very talented and you have excellent taste in literature. Thank you for keeping me company in this sad and lonely time.
Oh what a wonderful sad and beautiful story. I'm glad I had a box of tissues ready. 💖😁
Starting with the movies, and then the book, this has always been one of my favorite stories growing up. Thanks so much for your reading and allowing me to listen to it again.
I listened to The Secret Garden and am so glad I could hear you read this one!
Please read Heidi, anne of green gables, and little women! You'd make them sooo gooood. Pleeeaaase!
Aw, I first heard of this story from the ‘90’s movie rendition and then read the books over and over again throughout my preteens. As soon as I heard him say “Papa” I remembered how heart wrenching that last scene was and how badly I wished I could have my dad. Oof for the premature feels…. I’m not tearing up. Nope, especially not only 10 minutes into the story remembering it all 😞😭😭
This book would've been such a comfort to me as a child. I enjoy it most nights! Thank you!😘
Marvellous creation, marvellous interpretation. Any Oscars’ categories for reading stories? It ought to be added to 2024 Oscars and this should be awarded. My first encounter with this book took place more than 55 years ago. For whatever reason, I remember (it appears wrongly) that the father was found alive. Maybe the translation to my childhood language wasn’t fully accurate or my memory serves me wrong. Anyone can help to solve this conundrum?
Steven - BIG thank you. Your work brought peace to my mind in those uneasy times.
I couldn't wait to listen to this story read on this way. thank you so much from South Africa 🌍
Beautiful! I had never heard this story before and I loved it, thank you
Thank you for reading it. It was my favorite childhood show and I’ve never thought about the book nor how beautiful it is
Lovely reading of a classic 💕 Thank you.
That was one beautiful heartwarming story! Thank you for lending your voice in reading it.
What a wonderful reading, you make the amazing book come alive😍I listen to your books during my job so that I can tell them to my little sister in her own words. You help me to get through a lot! Please, keep reading! Thank you so much!
Wonderfully read! I also enjoyed your reading of The Secret Garden very much. I would love to hear Heidi. Thank you!
I think I'm in love with you! Just kidding! I first heard you read The secret garden. Now I have finished listening to you read the little princess. I am amazed at how quickly you can change your voice when different characters are in a conversation! I would like to hear you read the original wizard of Oz by Frank l. B
Baun. Like The secret garden I read The wizard of Oz. I remember being enthralled by The secret garden and have a thought of it often in the past 60 years! You are a wonderful reader of books! I look forward to listening to your next one. As a matter of fact, I can't wait! Thank you again for sharing your enjoyment in reading these novels.
So lovely, soothing and wonderfully read with such a passion for dialect nuances. From a fan living in 🇲🇽 Mexico. Also enjoyed "A Secret Garden" My childhood absolute fond favorite. Thank you for your dedicated art of voice which brings a grand enjoyment. AMAZING 👏
Thoroughly enjoyed your expressions, and music, and pleasant pace of reading. Thank you for doing more than just read this delightful story!
I am a big fan of The Secret Garden and The Little Princess. ❤️ It sure helps that you have beautiful voice and your narration is wonderfully.
PLEASE MAKE MORE FULL AUDIOBOOKS LIKE THIS I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!
Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing your voice that so opens worlds to us all.
So very much enjoyed this 😊 thank you for sharing your wonderful gift!
Excellent... Thank you
The music really brought this story to life 🥰 thank you so much for making these available for us! I finished this one in 2 days
Thank you so much. This was amazing. And the Secret garden as well. You've made me cry, and be joyful. A great reader
I love your reading! I have been listenig to this story over and over again :) thank you, Steven
Both your narration of this story and ‘The Secret Garden’ are wonderful ! Calming, soft tones; you bring the story alive with the characters which are well-crafted and jump off the page . My 4 yr old and I are recovering from flu and it is an easier process listening to your readings !
This is simply wonderful! A wonderful story and a marvelous reading of it. I listened to your reading of The Secret Garden earlier this year and loved it, but I think I may enjoy this story a wee bit more. It's so precious.
How absolutely fabulous, thank you for sharing these beautiful stories, I am delighted to have discovered them and very grateful that you've made them available. Thank you
I absolutely love this story! And you read it so well 👏🏽 Thank you! What a blessing you are!
Thank you so much for your readings. They are so enjoyable and remind me of Magic!
A very charming story. Most uplifting.
Thank you for reading this! This was probably my most favourite book when I was little. Sara is such a strong character, and I really enjoy that about her. I haven't read this story in a long while, and I really appreciate you making it available to listen to. Keep up the good work!
I have love both your secret garden and now a little princess! thank you I drive a truck for a living and have found I like this so much more than hearing the same music over again and again... do you have anymore that are simular to these 2 stories?!? and thank you so much again! you narrate so beautifully! it puts me right there, I can see it in my mind when you are telling the story! 🤍
On my 2nd audiobook read by you, now I don’t want to hear anyone else!
What a wonderful voice and story telling. Thank you. I hope you read Anne of Green Gables and The Little Prince soon.
Should I listen to the whole book for a second time? Yes of course I will. One of my comfort reads as it is. Just wonderful to have you read it Steven.
Would you consider other classics, or modern classics, like Rebecca or the Count of Montecristo?
Lol
I was just asking myself that very same question
That's the spirit! 😂 Thanks so much!
Absolutely, The Count of Monte Cristo has been requested quite a few times so it's one I'm strongly considering. I'm sure Rebecca would be popular too, although it will still be under copyright by the looks of it. Apparently there are some striking similarities between Rebecca and Bronte's Jane Eyre - are you a fan of that one?
And here you are Fabiana haha! 😁
@@redfoxvoice Oh drat, I didn't know Rebecca was under copyright. Yes there are some similarities but I wouldn't count Jane Eyre as gothic fiction. It's very good though!
Would be great for Steven to read the Psalms in King James tongue.
