Wow

Publisher's Summary
Everyone deserves to get away for a bit. Even the miscreants at St Mary's.
Astonishingly, Dr. Bairstow has declared a holiday. Even more astonishingly - he's paying for it. Needless to say, there are strings attached. They have to record the 1601 performance of Hamlet, with Shakespeare himself in the role of the Ghost. It doesn't go well, of course.
With Dr Bairstow and Mrs Mack turning a simple visit to a street market into a public brawl, Professor Rapson inadvertently stowing away on a vessel bound for the New World, and Shakespeare himself going up in flames, it would seem that Max, of all people, is the only one actually completing the assignment.

Saint Mary's Meet Shakespeare
Where does The Great St. Mary's Day Out rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Quite high... this was a lot of fun.
What did you like best about this story?
The circus-like farce in general. Each group of Saint Mary's staff with their own adventures.
Have you listened to any of Zara Ramm’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, she does an excellent job as usual.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This story was pretty light hearted ad I was laughing out loud several times.
Any additional comments?
This takes place after Lies, Damned Lies, And History and before And The Rest Is History. Contains some spoilers for Lies, Damned Lies, And history. Recommended.

Fun Fun Fun
I confess I'm binge reading this whole series. I fell in love with these characters and their craziness in book 1 and have never stopped loving them and I love the way the history is written into the stories! There is action to it that encompasses the reader. I love the series including the Novelas. It's a great combination of laugh out loud funny, historical fact and a teeny bit of drama and a fast read.

What a treat!!
My husband and I are big fans of the Chronicles if St. Mary’s series. We really like these “bonus” short stories because they fill in the gaps between the full books without giving anything important away plot wise between those books, and these adventures are always referred to in later books. This book was a real treat! All chaos, historical personages and fun add up to a rollicking good time - for the listener that is. Zara Ramm is the true voice of St. Mary’s, and her performance was excellent, as usual. But I will say that if you are only listening to these short stories because they are free or just a few bucks, you are missing out. For the most fun, do entire series in order.

The Great St Mary's Day Out
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I adore The Chronicles of St Mary's. The St Mary's short stories are great fun but they're not as engaging, satisfying, and adventurous as the novels.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The end - well - I could see it coming. But that's alright too.
Have you listened to any of Zara Ramm’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I LOVE Zara Ramm's readings.
Was The Great St. Mary's Day Out worth the listening time?
The Great St. Mary's Day Out is a short story and a short listen: Yes, it's worth the time.
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't start with this short story - but if you like Time Travel, English voices, adventure and tea - this is a fun story.

If you could sum up The Great St. Mary's Day Out in three words, what would they be?
Lighthearted, classic, romp
Who was your favorite character and why?
A certain, Bristolian member of the security section is always my favourite character - becuase, well, the Gods love a trier
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The post romp interview in the directors study is always fun
Any additional comments?
Zara Ramm is simply the best narrator I have yet heard in 200 audiobooks

Brilliant!
Loved this story. Rip roaring tale full of energy and fun. Great to catch up on what happens after the huge events at the end of book 7 (no spoilers) and, as always, love Markham. Listened to it in one sitting, then immediately went back to the start and listened to it again. Can't believe how Jodi Taylor can cram so much into one short story. Favourite line? Possibly that Matthew is not to be used as a draft excluder. Naughty Jodi to stir up the mud again over Markham's status - trying to avoid spoilers again! Love, love, loved it.

Enjoyed this immensely.
The book was again a joy to listen to. Nice and relaxing with a good chunk of humour. New characters coming into their own 🙂.Just a pity Amazon decided it was time to pay for this short story after the others .5's were free.

A riot!
The St Mary's short stories are every bit as good as the full-length novels, and always make me laugh out loud.
Zara Ramm's performance is terrific, too - I love her range of voices, which really add to the story, as well as helping the listener keep track of a lot of characters. This combination of writer and narrator is an absolute winner.

5 stars - as usual!
What can I say! Yet another hugely enjoyable outing for the irrepressible 'in-mates' of St Mary's! I wait, with very little patience, for the next volume in this very endearing series! Zara Ramm brings them to life in her own, superb, fashion! These books would just NOT be the same without her!!

Too short!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Wouldn't recommend as the asking price is too high. 1 credit for 22MB. I'm a huge fan of Jodi and Zara but I wouldn't have bought this if I had noticed how very short it is.

Another great story...only marred by being short.
Would you listen to The Great St. Mary's Day Out again? Why?
Bought on day of release - read the same day...as usual.Lots of references to previous stories, just spoilt by being FAR TOO SHORT.Roll on the next full length story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Bristolian...who else?
What does Zara Ramm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Excellent Narration. I found myself wondering how many accents she has to do in one short story?
Any additional comments?
Bring on the next one.....fast.

st Mary's
I really like the st Mary's stories. Zara Ramm brings the characters to life as they rocket from disaster to disaster.
