I loved this beautiful book. A wonderful story written with stunning language, gripping and descriptive. It was so easy to listen and the story moved chapter to chapter at a perfect pace. I didn’t want it to end.

I have only recently come across Diane Setterfield's work, and started off with Once Upon A River. However, I found that a little hard to get into, so I bought The Thirteenth Tale as her first novel. I was pulled into her beautifully crafted world almost immediately - her characters, and the atmosphere of the book, have stayed with me long after finishing the story. It has a fairy-tale quality that captivates and delights, with darker threads beautifully woven throughout. This was beautifully read too by Jenny Agutter - it was indeed a perfect marriage of artist and story. Now to go back to the rest of her work!

A spell-binding story, beautifully told
