"The whimsical blend of romance, mystery and nostalgia will keep cozy fans happily entertained." ( Publishers Weekly)

Tale of Hawthorn House

A nice continuing tale in this series by Susan Wittig Albert. The narration is good.

Great story !

I love Virginia Leishman. She is a wonderful performer. Highly recommended book Very Good story

The best yet!

A gentle tale that unfolds like one of Beatrice Potter's children's tales and, without too much suspension of disbelief, as believable.

Enchanting

This is book four in the fictional episodes in the life of Beatrix Potter and her farm in the Lake Country. I don’t think this book is as good as the earlier books.

The book is well written. This story has the to do with a sixteen-year-old having a baby out of wedlock in rural Edwardian England. I found it cute that Albert had the animals gossiping as much as the humans. I found the information about various types of trees interesting. This book makes a good get-away-from-it-all story.

The book is ten hours and one minute. Virginia Leishman does an excellent job narrating the story. Leishman is a British actress. I enjoyed listening to her accent.
