适读人群 :8岁及以上 Virginia Sorensen's 1957 Newbery Award winner (Harcourt, 1956) is skillfully dramatized by a cast of experienced narrators. This is a loving family saga about Marley, brother Joe, their parents, and their friends. When Marley's father returns home from World War II a broken man physically and spiritually, her mother decides that the family needs to leave the city for an extended visit to Grandma's house in the country. Listeners are drawn into the tale of a year in the life of this family as the father slowly regains his strength and confidence. The year is filled with small miracles from the first spring blossoms to the healing of their beloved neighbor, Mr. Chris. Narrated by Cynthia Bishop and dramatized by the Full Cast Family, each character is brought to life and given a unique personality and voice. Their expert narration brings this inspiring American classic to life. So many children today have parents who are part of the war effort overseas that this somewhat old-fashioned, half-century old story is still relevant for youngsters today.
内容简介
Marly's father came back from the war a different man. Something inside him seems as cold and dead as the winter world outside. But when the family moves to Grandma's old house on Maple Hill, miracles begin to happen. The sap in the trees begins to rise, the leaves begin to turn, and Marly's father starts to bloom again, like the world around them.
This wise and moving story is a must-have for every reader's library.

为了强调这样的冤案并不是个别的情况,小说还描写在审讯中尉之前,法官另外办的几桩案件。一个被打得头破血流的人站在被告席上,而那衣冠齐楚、浑身没一点挨打痕迹的人反而是原告。当法官正言厉色地问被告为什么要破坏国王的治安时,那人结结巴巴地说:"对天发誓,我十分敬爱国王。是这个人破坏了我的脑袋,然后,我的脑袋才破坏了他的棍子。"尽管在场的人都证明他没还手,法官仍然判他为有罪,理由是:"他是个爱尔兰人(当时英国人眼中的低贱民族),那就永远是足够的证据。"接着,一个半夜出去替主子请产婆的女佣以街头卖淫罪被罚苦役一个月;一个被控偷窃三条小鱼的伤兵本来已宣判无罪释放,但由于付不出狱吏的小账,竞又关回牢去。一位奄奄一息的老人躺在一个少女的膝上。这姑娘眼看父亲要饿死,偷了块面包,结果父女都给抓了来-那快断气的老人的罪名是"窝赃"。
