The only thing that could possibly make this book any more extraordinary is having it being read TO you by the inimitable, iconic actress Ruby Dee. As with any performance she gives, she puts every molecule of her being onto the screen, the stage, and God bless us all, the page. She gives such dimension, richness and texture to the book, you feel like you are sitting on a country porch in Eatonville listening to her. Also helpful to listen WHILE reading for help with the dialect that may be difficult to understand for some. This is one of the very best audiobooks you will ever hear. Enjoy!
