The Tale of Briar Bank Audiobook

" What can I say? Beatrix Potter is not only one of my favorite children's book author/illustrators, she's one of my top personal heroines. The mix of talking animals, biography, and fictional mysteries might not be everyone's cup of tea, but Albert brews just the right combination for my taste. It's also perfectly appropriate for tweens and teens -- could make a great family read-aloud. "

" actually made the potato soup recipe. It is really good. So is the book. Just a really fun read. "

" Gentle and entertaining. "

" I love this series, but this one wasn't my favorite. I listened to it on CD but can't find that edition listed. "

" #5 in the Beatrix Potter series. The mystery in this one isn't much of a mystery. Though the story deals with buried treasurer, a death, an identity question, and some suspicious characters, there really isn't much of a story line there. Much of the story focuses on Beatrix Potter's personal life and the various animals in the area involvment in the on going story. "

" I'm a sucker for books set around or near Christmas. Throw in the idea that it's Beatrix Potter at Hill Top Farm and it's all good. "

" I didn't like this one as much as the others because she used I style I don't like (the peeping observer style). "

" Very fun series! "

" Another wonderful book in the series about Beatrix Potter. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the dragon (delightful though he was): there's a limit to how much disbelief I can suspend. "

" Being a long time fan of beatrix Potter, I find these mysteries delightful. Albert writes as I imagine Potter would had she moved into this genre. The fantasy does not come across cute, which takes alot of skill. "

" Pure escapism. I needed this to distract me from my disgust with the gullible, media-spun, lotus eating individuals who voted for the Obama-Biden ticket in this presidential election. If the shoe fits....... "

" I loved all of Albert's herb-themed books with China Bayles. This book is part of a series based upon Beatrix Potter. The story was OK but I kept getting the feeling that I should be reading it to a child. "

" I like this book cause it blends a real person into a fictional story. "

" Charming cozy mystery centered around Beatrice Potters' life in the English Lake District. "

" There are even dragons in this addition to the series! A very fun read! "

" I really enjoyed this book, but had a hard time keeping up with the plot. It a very complex story which takes place between people, then between animals. It does make me want to read more about Beatrix Potter so with the resources information in the back of the book, to the library I will go. "

" There's a dragon in this book! "

" All of these are simple warm fuzzies for adults who still like children's books. This one meets the standard and was fun to read. "

" Delightful as always. So that is where the dragons have been hiding. Can't wait until the next comes out. "

" Very cute, liked the dragon business. "

" Delightful nighttime reading "

" cute book but I did not finish. I got bored so stopped reading it. "

" Cute, but the whole talking dragon was way over the top in this one. So far out of the series this is my least favorite. "

" The animal stories mixed in with human stories works in this series of books. I found them enjoyable and easy reading for light reading. "

" How could I not like a book about a cataloging badger! Then there's the dragon without a "Mission in Life." "

" actually made the potato soup recipe. It is really good. So is the book. Just a really fun read. "

" I didn't like this one as much as the others because she used I style I don't like (the peeping observer style). "

" similar to the Redwall series. Delightful! "

" All of these are simple warm fuzzies for adults who still like children's books. This one meets the standard and was fun to read. "

" Cute, but the whole talking dragon was way over the top in this one. So far out of the series this is my least favorite. "

" I love the characters but this one stretched a little to far into the animals including a dragon...still loved the writing style and Beatrix :-) "

" This is a delightful tale about Ms Potter and it includes her delightful creatures. A joy to read. I look forward to getting add'l books by this author. "

" Delightful as always. So that is where the dragons have been hiding. Can't wait until the next comes out. "
