The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

The reactions of her friends to Miss Buncle’s book, however, were a little surprising, and the far-reaching and unexpected results of its publication caused quite a stir.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the light hearted nature of this book and have already bought the next in the series.

A wonderful book - gentle, humourous, kind and old fashioned in the very best sense. It shows a picture of village life before the war, the alliances and petty rivalries and what happens when one of the villagers writes a book exposing their hidden secrets (good and bad). It's the sort of book to relax into, to listen to on a sunny summer afternoon with a glass of Pimms. It is as quintessentially English as cricket and home made scones. A lovely listen beautifully read.

A very English book

How I would have loved to have written 'Miss Buncle's Book' - what a joy it is! I found it a skilfully written, gentle and very funny book. The fantastical plot is rooted in the kind of English village life which I recognise from living in my English village today. D. E. Stevenson's characters are true to type; when they do unbelievable things,it doesn't jar or irritate but amuses.This audible version is well read by Patricia Gallimore.

What a great listen!

This book had been hanging around in the lower end of my library list for a long time. For some reason I had bought it and then not fancied it. This week however, I bit the bullet and thought I would give it five minutes as a trial. What a delightful surprise! The book is charming without being sugary and so cleverly written - a book, within a book, within a book. Miss Buncle is a real find and a woman to be admired for her kindness, perspicacity and absolute honesty. I found myself listening well into the night to reassure myself that the ending would be what I was expecting - no plot spoilers!
I recommend this as a gentle but clever novel that I am glad I did not dismiss after all.
Beautifully narrated by Patricia Gallimore.

Absolutely charming!
