Publisher's summary

Marriage to her publisher, Arthur Abbott, has done nothing to stop Barbara Buncle from involving herself in the lives of her neighbours.

After leaving Silverstream and moving to London, Barbara and Arthur are enjoying their newly wedded bliss, but not the city life. The only solution to their problem? Returning to the country. Silverstream is out of the question, but Barbara eventually finds the perfect candidate in the town of Wandlebury.

After falling in love with the town, and the run-down Archway House, the Abbotts move in and make it their home. Barbara doesn’t intend to get mixed up with those around her, again, but can’t help falling into those scrapes, often with humorous consequences!

Yay

This book, like all those in this series, is a scream. Listen to all four!

Even better

I very much enjoyed the audiobook version of Miss Buncle's Book, so was delighted to find Patricia Gallimore's reading of the sequel, Miss Buncle Married. I was delighted to discover that she did an even better job reading this book than the first in the series! The characters come to life, and take the listener to the English Village of Wandlebury, where we and Miss Buncle, now Mrs Abbott, get to meet her new neighbors and experience village life to the full.

The Second book in the Miss Buncle Series

Wonderful book great narration Read Miss Buncles Book if you can first as the characters continue the story in this sequel.

Another great book by D.E. Stevenson

I recently discovered D.E Stevenson and I'm so happy I did! Wholesome, fun stories about every day people and their foibles that hold your attention. The narrator is excellent too, and that adds even more to an already fun story.

Delightful and charming

Just as delightful as the first in the series! I loved getting to know the new characters in the quaint village the Abbots settle in. The narrator is perfect!

Charming and clever story

The Miss Buncle books really keep my interest. They are also peaceful and comforting while being intriguing as well. There is an old-fashioned charm in them since they take place almost 100 years ago.

Charming, funny, gentle yet witty story

This charming English village story is only a very little less witty than the first book of the series, Miss Buncle's Book, which sets the bar almost unfairly high for this genre. Elegantly crafted, delightful and amusing story chronicles Miss Buncle's happy marriage to her publisher from the previous book, a village romance, and the interactions of various quirky folks in Miss B's circle. It is a "nice" story but NOT insipid! If you like Jane Austen and Mrs. Gaskell you will enjoy this well-narrated tale.

Cozy Charmer—but read Miss Buncle's Book first

You'll follow along much better if you already know the backstory of Miss Buncle's Book so definitely read that one first, especially as it is equally charming. The sequel is more of the same: quaint English village, eccentric characters, amusing misunderstandings, low-stakes drama. Nothing life-altering, but a relaxing and enjoyable tale. The narrator definitely leans towards Barbara's voice, but manages to do pretty well by all of the characters.

Charming Tale

D. E. Stevenson is a new author to me-I wish I’d know about her years ago. This charming, comical tale is set in 1930s England, and kept me laughing and entertained from beginning to end. It is the sweet tale of Miss Buncle, now married and living in a new town, where she spreads her guileless charm and mishaps among the inhabitants.

I love Miss Buncle!

This is just a great fun story! THere is a little romance and just good clean english fun. Life in a small village. Ms. Stevenson really does a great job with character development. I found that once I start listening I don't want the story to end. I think Miss Buncle is someone that most of us can sort of identify with. This is a book that the children and I can comfortably listen to while working together on some kitchen project or riding along in the car. I did have to buy the next book in the series almost immediately to find out what happened next.
