About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Miss Crespigny by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Read in English by Grace Buchanan; Rita Boutros; Lynette Caulkins; acousticwave; Lleskk This is a less known, but not less beautiful, novel by the author of The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, The Lost Prince, Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Shuttle, and many more. There is something different about miss Lysbeth Crespigny. Raised by three maiden aunts and sheltered from the world, she leaves them for the first time in order to explore the world. Yet she is often misunderstood. The world she discovers is more complicated and confusing then she anticipates. She is only 18 when the book starts. However the choices she has to make have consequences which she learns to navigate and become the strong woman she can be. - Summary by Stav Nisser.
