I listened to the audio book for this one and it was narrated very well.

Too sad. I know it's a classic, but I don't like stories where the main character suffers up til the very end, and then is rescued. there has to be SOME joy in the story throughout the book for me to enjoy it. How can people treat innocent animals like this? so sad. poor beauty.

One of the first books I remember reading and owning. My copy fell apart over the years. I just found the exact same edition I originally read in the used book store. Now to share with my grand daughter.
It is a tough read.
