About this listen

The third book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place—the acclaimed and hilarious Victorian mystery series by Maryrose Wood, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Trenton Lee Stewart—has a brand-new look.

Since returning from London, the three Incorrigible children and their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, have been exceedingly busy. When Lord Fredrick's long-absent mother arrives with the noted explorer, Admiral Faucet, gruesome secrets tumble out of the Ashton family tree. And when the Admiral's prized racing ostrich gets loose in the forest, it will take all the Incorrigibles' skills to find her.

The hunt for the runaway ostrich is on. But Penelope is worried. Once back in the wild, will the children forget about books and poetry, and go back to their howling, wolfish ways? What if they never want to come back to Ashton Place at all?

I was initially dubious about these books- written, I think, by an American but set in Victorian Britain. There are a couple of places where the language doesn't sit comfortably with me. E.g. the "holiday ball". We almost never refer to Christmas as "holiday" [I am willing to be corrected if Victorian Brits did use that terminology]. However, I got sucked in. The stories are delightful. The performance is a rather over the top affair, a sort of hammed up British accent (done by an American), but then, so is the story! Kellgren's depiction of each character is fabulous and wonderfully elaborate. So, yes, I thoroughly enjoy the stories and their audio version, even with my prejudice as a British listener!
