Bringing Stan In

De: Julia Rochester

Narrado por: Avita Jay

"Why do you want to be a boat builder?"

"Because," said Morwenna, "I like the way the boats grow."

Morwenna and Corwin are eight years old, wind-swept and salty-haired twins growing up on the Devon coast. In the soft autumn light, they play as their grandfather, Matthew, watches the boats come in. But it is a day unlike any other.

Bringing Stan In is the short-story prequel to The House at the Edge of the World by Julia Rochester. If you liked this, you’ll love the full-length novel.

good for the price

Way too short but you get what you pay for, it was free.
28 minutes of broken plots but I feel the author will get better

A very enjoyable short story !

I really enjoyed listening to this story. Julia Rochester wrote a story of life in a small village from beginning to end in a few selected words.
Without give the plot away it was the perfect ending!
I can listen to Anita Jay's narration all day. She has a smooth, comforting voice . I listen to this story at night instead of white noise to fall asleep. Not because the story isn't entertaining but because it's so easy to listen to it.
I recommend this audio book to anyone who likes well written short stories.

Dorset

This is a simple story of people who
Love the harbors of our British isles. It belongs way back somewhere in the 40s & 50s when life was much simpler. Where youth learns from natural artisans who let them develop their given gifts without pressure or censure. Took me back to my childhood when a neighbour let me learn everyday gardening simply by following and watching. Little interaction verbally but masses of absorption by osmosis. Thank you for making it freely available.
