Stories that seem like the magic of Beatrix Potter

I’m loving the Tales by Susan Albert about a fictional Beatrix Potter and the land around her Hill Top Farm. They are a mix of descriptions of the actual area in which Potter lived and a fantasy that includes exciting adventures. You get to know and follow the neighbors of Hill Top Farm, both humans and other animals. The stories of the animals have the texture of Beatrix’s books, but developed further and so that the adventures of humans and animals interweave.
This is all brought to life by the beautiful story telling narration of Virginia Leishman. I appreciate that at the end of the books we hear actual activities of Beatrix Potter during the historical period in which the book is set and aspects of her life that may have inspired the Tale we just heard.
I’m looking forward to more of the Tales by Susan Albert.

The Tale of Cuckoo Brow Wood

Totally not what I had expected. Goes back and forth between people and animals (rats).

Takes me back to childhood in the best way

A delightful story! Well, written, full of fun, surprises, some mystery and a lot of fun.

Miss Potter never disappoints

Have always loved these books about Miss Potter. I was so very sad when the series ended. I could have listened and read many more.

Loved it.

Following a series is always fun. I love escaping into the world of nature with a little fairyland added. Albert does a wonderful job weaving her plot into the world of animals and fairies into this one.
