A White Heron

A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett is a beautifully lyrical and quietly profound short story that explores the tension between nature and progress, innocence and ambition. First published in 1886, this timeless piece of American regionalist literature follows a young girl named Sylvia, who must choose between revealing the location of a rare bird to a visiting ornithologist—or preserving the natural world she so deeply loves.

Set in the lush countryside of rural Maine, Jewett’s story captures the quiet strength of childhood, the majesty of the natural world, and the subtle power of moral conviction. It is both a coming-of-age story and a moving tribute to the beauty and sanctity of nature.

This full audiobook captures the gentle tone and vivid imagery of Jewett’s prose, inviting listeners to slow down and reflect on their connection with the wild and the ethical choices that shape us.
