About this listen
Henrietta Hickthrift decides to run away from home - the Old People's Home. Packing just one small suitcase, she sets off on the train to the seaside. But Henry doesn't have much money. In fact by the end of her first day, she has exactly one penny. That is when she meets the Goods - Angela, Barney, Eleanor, Rosie, and Rowley - who decide to adopt this unusual stray. But will their parents let them keep her?

Timeless tale, perfectly narrated.
This is a marvellous story well told. Originally obtained for my young daughter (who played it often, and remembers it fondly), this gem has been in the family for many years now - and I STILL enjoy listening to it on occasion. It covers many levels really; innocently profound and thoroughly heart-warming. It's a tale of taking risks, going with the flow, the kindness of strangers who trust their instincts, family, and friends. The words wrap gently around you like a cozy, well-loved blanket. Simply put, this is a story that soothes the soul.
