The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 4

The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Book 4

By: Beth Brower

Narrated by: Genevieve Gaunt

"It all began very innocently. Truly."

The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Narrated by Genevieve Gaunt. A Londoner born and bred, she started her acting career playing Pansy Parkinson in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban before going on to read English at Cambridge where she graduated with a Double First. Recent work includes playing Marilyn Monroe in The Marilyn Conspiracy on stage and narrating The Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming. Alongside acting on stage, screen, audiobooks and radio Genevieve writes for audiodrama (Thunderbirds), reviews books for The Spectator and interviews authors and creatives for literary festivals and in print for A Rabbit’s Foot magazine.

Directed by Tamsin Collison, an award-winning audio director with over 500 audiobooks and dramas to her credit, collaborating with artists from David Tennant to Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Recent highlights include a dramatisation of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, Thandiwe Newton's award-winning recording of Tolstoy’s War & Peace, and a new set of all-star readings of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. She also lectures at leading UK drama academies, including RADA and LAMDA. A lyricist/librettist, Tamsin has been commissioned by English National Opera, the Royal Opera House, Tête à Tête Opera, Highbury Opera Theatre and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Alchemy

Pure and simple magic turned to gold. This series is a treasure. Thank you, Beth. I am forever in your debt for bringing this masterpiece to life.

How clever it is.

I love each and every thing about this book. Thank you for such a compelling story.

Well met!

Multiple “voices” seamlessly bringing me this charming story full of delightful improbabilities, I find myself re-listening just as I found myself re-reading those months ago. Eagerly awaiting Vol 5.

My favorite of the series!!!!

I love Emma! The audiobooks are perfectly read. The character voices, especially Agnes, are my favorite. Can’t wait for more!!

As always, delightful.

These stories are magic’s. And the narrator is….likely, one of the best I have ever heard.

I don’t think you could read these books out of order….each one builds on the adventures and mishaps of the previous book.
