Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker's daughter. Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn't feeling so well and can't possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she's made for the duchess to wear that very evening. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that's brewing - quite an errand for a little girl. But where there's a will, there's a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows.

Wonderful narrator!
What about Pauline Brailsford’s performance did you like?
I love Pauline Brailsford's narration of the Beatrix Potter collection. I wish audible had more Beatrix Potter stories narrated by her. I have Tom Kitten, Jeremy Fisher and Benjamin Bunny.

Cute drawings for the animals
Synchronized images worked on my iPhone.
I forgot how old this story was, so you might have to explain what a currant and a gardening hoe are... That’s always fun! Lol
Other than that, the drawings and background music are cute and the narrator was perfect for this audiobook.
