A childhood favourite revisited

This was the first audiobook I ever listened to, after getting it out of the libray on tape back in the 80s. I've looked for it for years, and never thought it would be digitized and sold on Audible, especially after Chivers (the original publisher) went out of business.This is the exact reading I remember, Eve Karpf does a terrific job of bringing this children's book to life. The basic premise is about a girl of 9 who wishes desperately to be "all grown up" like her big sister Bella (who is 18). She finds a fur coat that magically turns her into an 18 year old. Hilarity ensues. Perfect for kids and fun loving adults! I will note that the book is English and has some UK references and slang, but, hey, a perfect chance to learn new things.
