Deep in the Himalayas, the daughter of an English earl is kidnapped by a huge hairy monster. Agatha Farlingham is introduced to a family of motherless yetis and devotes her life to their upbringing. She teaches them to talk, tells them stories and insists on polite manners. But as time passes, tourists and yeti-hunters arrive in to the mountains. Agatha knows that there is one place where they would be protected – at her home in England.

So begins a hugely entertaining road trip half way across the world…©2012 Eva Ibbotson Action & Adventure Fantasy Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Mythology Bigfoot

loved the story and the characters and voices, but really didn't like how the narrator shouts then goes really quiet, particularly since I like to listen to fall asleep. the choice is not hearing some of it or feeling alarmed when it gets loud.

I feel this could have easily been fixed in post production.

still, I would recommend it, so sweet

ps I'm an adult, can recommend for other adults as well as children

such a sweet story and funny accents
