Did you do a search on the narrator you liked? Frequently narrators specialize in types of book.

What about Burnett’s other books? And Anne of Green Gables is a good thought; how about going a little earlier, to Louisa May Alcott for example?

Do any of your libraries have Hoopla? Hoopla’s got a lot of excellent Victorian classics that might suit your needs.

As an aside, I like the idea of Librivox, but I’ve struggled to find narrators I like there.
Good Morning @issybird, I can't thank you enough for suggesting I look at other books by Burnett!! I went to sleep last night listening to Little Lord Fauntelroy This may sound idiotic to some out there, but what works for me evidently, at 72 years old, is children's books

I'd never read this book before, and never a movie (if there is one) but I am utterly enjoying the story

Thank you again for taking the time to help me, denise PS the narrator on Librivox (that's where I found the book as it wasn't in my Libby) did not have that extreme "S" or "ch" sound either!! That was such a relief. I'll go ahead and mention the Narrator in case anyone is looking for another good one Hope it's ok to name name's narrated by Mary Anderson
