About this listen

 Hilary Napier is upset and angry when her father brings in a new manager for the family estate, which she's been running for the past year. Even though she resents his presence, she cannot help liking Travis Kellaway. When her defences are broken down by the illness of her brother's much-loved horse, she realises Travis' strength and compassion. It isn't long before their relationship moves to a new footing.

Meanwhile, village life in Burracombe is enlivened by the new Drama Club, formed by the energetic young curate Felix Copley. Almost everyone becomes involved in the pantomime he decides to organise, with some hilarious results - and a tragic issue.

Another lovely story and read once again by Anne Dover so well. When listening it feels as though I know all the villagers personally. I have enjoyed all the Burracombe series I hope there will be more.

Anne Dover is an excellent narrator for these stories. Really great at the accents and making it very easy to listen to.

The story was pretty good but not as good as the previous book in this series as I found parts of it irritating. I loved the visit to Tavistock Goosey Fayre, Jacob’s visit, and the pantomime, all very entertaining. However, I found the Hilary and Colonel Napier parts particularly galling and kept skipping them - the way he treats his own daughter is so annoying. The characters are all so well rounded and very likeable, apart from Stella herself, who I continue to find a complete wet lettuce and pointless as a character. I honestly have no idea what Felix sees in her.

Narration was first class, story was pretty good
