The Hollisters, a bright, spirited, wholesome family, are compelled to move into the country. After many efforts to secure a home, Shirley, eldest of the Hollisters, contrives a way out by renting a magnificent old stone barn at a ridiculously low price, transforming it into a house. The owner of the barn is not an ordinary landlord, as you will see, for he is a young man with fine ideals, and he is not content with establishing Shirley and her family in the quaintly beautiful old place, but makes the world a much happier place to live in for all of them.Rating Containing Books The Enchanted Barn

Of all the many, many Grace Livingston Hill books I've read, this one is my fave. I just love the idea of it! The family comes together under the daughter's leadership as she tries to keep her family together by making an old barn into a home. I am listening to the audio version of this book too, even though I've read it a few times.This old Christian romance is FREE in a good audio version narrated by Gail Mattern. She has narrated several complete books by Grace Livingston Hill.

A destitute family makes a home in an old stone barn, which unconventional and desperate act wins the interest of their debonaire
This is definately one of my favorite GLH books. It's about a girl named Shirley who must find somewhere for her five younger siblings and invalid mother to live. They are about to be kicked out of their small flat because it is going to be torn down, so Shirley must take a little time off from work and pray for God's help in finding a suitable home for her family. She wants to get them into the country, so she takes the bus out as far as it will go. She sees a beautiful old barn that is empty,
Maybe my most favorite of Grace Livingston Hill's books. I read it every so often and like it all over again! Cannot recommend it highly enough.
I have always enjoyed GLH novels and the Victorian era for which they are written. This is one of her better novels in my opinion.

My Mom and Grandmother gave me a lot of Grace Livingston Hill novels when I was a young girl. They are old fashioned, but they are overall sweet and innocent. I still like rereading them from time to time. The Enchanted Barn is one of my favourites, I like it because the main character, Shirley, is strong, independent, and very relatable. Like most of Hill's novels the story and the main character are very dependent on the kindness of a gentleman, Sidney Graham, who goes above and beyond what
My parents went through a really nasty divorce when I was in middle school in the mid-70's. I was a big reader and I went through a Grace Livingston Hill period and read every book by her in my library. I think I was in need of gentle books about a more peaceful time. This was one of my favorites. Many of these are free for Kindle and worth the time. Note: there are Christian fiction and were written in early 1900's and might seem very dated and possibly sexist now to some readers.
