Understood Betsy is a 1916 novel for children by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. The story tells of Elizabeth Ann, a 9-year-old orphan who goes from a sheltered existence with her father's aunt Harriet and cousin Frances in the city, to living on a Vermont farm with her mother's family, the Putneys, whose child-rearing practices had always seemed suspect to Harriet and her daughter. In her new rural life, Elizabeth Ann comes to be nicknamed "Betsy," and to find that many activities that Frances had always thought too demanding for a little girl are considered, by the Putney family, ordinary expectations for a child: walking to school alone, cooking, and having household duties to perform.Author: Dorothy Canfield FisherLength: 4 hours 36 minutesGenre: Children's FictionChaptersChapters:00:00 - Chapter 126:38 - Chapter 252:04 - Chapter 301:14:40 - Chapter 401:30:36 - Chapter 501:51:27 - Chapter 602:17:40 - Chapter 702:42:21 - Chapter 803:07:55 - Chapter 903:24:07 - Chapter 1003:57:19 - Chapter 11Audiobook recording provided by LibriVox volunteers.Curated and presented by 🟡 Kids Books: Bedtime Stories.Discover more free classic audiobooks and bedtime stories at https://thefreeaudiobooklibrary.com.Support the Free Audiobook Library and help us release more audiobooks at https://patreon.com/freeaudiobooklibrary.

Some are derived from very ancient sources, and are current in the literature of many lands; some have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people; a few are of quite recent origin (Excerpt from text).Author: James BaldwinLength: 3 hours 28 minutesGenre: Children's Fiction, Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales, HistoricalChaptersChapters:00:00 - Chapter 103:10 - Chapter 206:55 - Chapter 310:51 - Chapter 413:41 - Chapter 519:46 - Chapter 625:47 - Chapter 734:02 - Chapter 839:36 - Chapter 942:34 - Chapter 1046:28 - Chapter 1149:09 - Chapter 1254:03 - Chapter 1356:58 - Chapter 1459:06 - Chapter 1501:01:10 - Chapter 1601:02:59 - Chapter 1701:07:23 - Chapter 1801:09:23 - Chapter 1901:11:12 - Chapter 2001:14:31 - Chapter 2101:17:28 - Chapter 2201:20:32 - Chapter 2301:27:34 - Chapter 2401:29:21 - Chapter 2501:36:30 - Chapter 2601:41:25 - Chapter 2701:45:52 - Chapter 2801:50:49 - Chapter 2901:56:49 - Chapter 3001:59:17 - Chapter 3102:02:32 - Chapter 3202:05:29 - Chapter 3302:07:32 - Chapter 3402:09:48 - Chapter 3502:12:33 - Chapter 3602:15:05 - Chapter 3702:17:47 - Chapter 3802:18:57 - Chapter 3902:23:50 - Chapter 4002:25:58 - Chapter 4102:30:52 - Chapter 4202:35:44 - Chapter 4302:40:16 - Chapter 4402:43:27 - Chapter 4502:47:38 - Chapter 4602:51:28 - Chapter 4703:05:29 - Chapter 4803:09:06 - Chapter 4903:15:12 - Chapter 5003:22:32 - Chapter 51Audiobook recording provided by LibriVox volunteers.Curated and presented by 🟡 Kids Books: Bedtime Stories.Discover more free classic audiobooks and bedtime stories at https://thefreeaudiobooklibrary.com.Support the Free Audiobook Library and help us release more audiobooks at https://patreon.com/freeaudiobooklibrary.
