A timeless classic that captures the magic of transformation and the healing power of nature. Perfect for listeners of all ages seeking a heartwarming story!
It's always hard with a great story from the past---times were different then, & I do note that the maid declares that the Indian people ("that some call blacks") are good & respectable folk. In the chapter on "Magic," which I find rather stupid, the children suggest that an abused wife causes her husband to beat her b/c she doesn't use "the magic" & if she said something nice maybe he wouldn't get drunk & beat her---which we all know today is bullsh*t. sometimes you just have to look past these things if you want to enjoy the story itself & say, "Thank goodness we know better now." I did not know that Ayah was racist in any way---I've never heard anyone say that, I always thought it just meant nanny or governess? In searching the internet, I couldn't find anywhere that said it was specifically racist, only that it was a reminder of colonial days & perhaps could have a bad connotation. So are you maybe being a little over sensitive here? There are certainly other more obvious criticisms of this book or any book written in this time period. No doubt one day we will be horrified at books where people eat animals!

I’ve never cared for British authors or stories that degrade Indian people, and use racist words like “Ayah” this is a depressing story.
