A Chronicles of St Mary's short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

It's Christmas Day 1066 and a team from St Mary's is going to witness the coronation of William the Conqueror. Or so they think...

However, History seems to have different plans for them and when Max finds herself delivering a child in a peasant's hut, she can't help wondering what History is up to.

Readers love Jodi Taylor:

'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me'

'A great mix of British proper-ness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun'

'Addictive. I wish St Mary's was real and I was a part of it'

'Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked'

'A tour de force' Fantasy Historical Science Fiction Time Travel Kısa Öykü Noel Kış

This is one of four, currently free shorts by one of my favorite authors. Jodi Taylor is quite simply one of the best British sci fi/fantasy writers out there. I've recommended the series to friends and they've passed it on to theirs. I was initially put off by the hype and beautiful but very pink cover of the first book because I associated it with chick-lit. Needless to say I was wrong, unless you can't stand a heroine rather than a hero, this series should appeal to both men and women. In-fact, while Taylor has her own style, her intelligence, humor, intense love of history and ability to present things to the reader that have huge dramatic impact in a very matter of fact manner, most reminds me of Ben Aaronovitch. Zara Ramm is a really talented narrator, bringing the whole thing to life. You need to listen to the series in order, there are twists and turns that keep the fourth book as fresh as the first, so I'm not reviewing the individual story plots. My recommendation would be to search under Jodi Taylor and download these while Audible is still offering them for free. If you are new to the series you may wish to consider buying the first book in kindle format from Amazon because at the time of writing this review, it was much cheaper to buy both the kindle and then the audible version at the reduced price this gives you, than just buying the audio book itself but you need to make sure this is still the case

One of the best free gifts from Audible to date

What can I say without a story spoiler. It's funny sad in places and typical St. Mary's. A very good quick book well written and well narrated.

Three wise men?

I didn't know what to expect but I am glad I read it, look forward to more from the author

Nice short story

Lovely little Christmas story, just right for this time of year. The usual humorous touches and a little bit of English history (to follow up in your own time!) at the end.

A wonderful seasonal story...with a good ending.

Would you consider the audio edition of When a Child Is Born to be better than the print version?

No they are both good but can be enjoyed at different times. I like to listen while working around my home. While I like to read books to relax.

What was one of the most memorable moments of When a Child Is Born?

I liked the description of the family 'home' and the interaction of the characters.

Have you listened to any of Zara Ramm’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Zara is fairly consistently good I enjoyed this performance.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Jodi's characterisation is a key feature of her writing. The people are always believable with a real story to tell I find I often have emotional responses.

Any additional comments?

A good read and listen and an unusual outcome for St Mary's in the story.

A fresh approach
