Downright Dencey (Dramatic Reading)

About this film

LibriVox recording of Downright Dencey by Caroline Dale Snedeker. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Dencey Coffyn grows up as a Quaker during Nantucket’s whaling days in the early 1800s. Full of heart, with an adventurous spirit that can find trouble easily, she works hard to make amends for the stones she cast at Sammie Jetsam. Dencey has a deep respect for her strict mother and a heart-filling love for her often absent ship’s-captain father. Dencey’s and Sam’s various adventures introduce us to other Quaker personalities, the Nantucket Quaker culture, and fun community events that were a mainstay at that time. Downright Dencey is a 1928 Newbery Honor book. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
