The Night Gardener

By: Jonathan Auxier

Narrated by: Beverley A Crick

This much-anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Auxier’s exceptional debut, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, is a Victorian ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More than just a spooky tale, it’s also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling.

The Night Gardener follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives. With Auxier’s exquisite command of language, The Night Gardener is a mesmerizing read and a classic in the making.

Good book, iffy narrator

The story was interesting and well written, but the narrator left much to be desired. Her reading of dialogue was stellar, but the sentences in between all got read like they were all questions. Very good book though. I definitely recommend it.
