This “Story Time from Home” is a reading of Racketty-Packetty House, written in 1906 by Frances Hodgson Burnett.  It is a long-ish book, so the reading will be done in four sessions, each about twenty-five minutes long and posted at intervals.  Our story times, once the bookstore is open, will be geared toward preschool-aged children but, because schools are closed for now, this story time is appropriate for older children as well.

Enjoy … and bring your imaginations with you while you listen to a reading of Racketty-Packetty House!

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849 – 29 October 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885–1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911). These are still in print and available!
