Editha's Burglar audiobook free download

Editha was a queer little girl. She was rather old-fashioned, as her aunts used to call it, and was always very fond of books. Indeed, Editha perhaps read more than was quite good for her. She spent the greater part of her time in the library reading her papa’s big books and newspapers. Her most recent obsession, derived from her daily news intake, was the subject of burglars. One night, when confronted with a real-life burglar, and with the conviction that she must protect her mother from the fright of such an intruder, Editha took it upon herself to confront the unusual nocturnal visitor.

📚✨Summary: Editha's Burglar by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a charming tale of bravery and compassion. Editha, an imaginative and book-loving girl, encounters a burglar in her home one night. Instead of reacting with fear, she engages the burglar in conversation, believing she can protect her mother and perhaps understand the burglar's circumstances. This story, set in 1888, showcases the power of empathy and the unexpected friendships that can arise from it.
