The Tale of Hawthorn House Audiobook

" I have been reading the tales about Beatrix Potter and am starting to believe in fairy tales. The books are so believable I feel part of that world. I am even looking at maps and pictures of the land the books describe. This particular book deals with parenthood, its longing, rewards, and its responsibilities. "

" Perfect with a cup tea. "

" I didn't enjoy this one quite as I enjoyed the previous ones. I personally disliked the portions of the book where the narrator spoke directly to the reader. I found these portions quite disconcerting and hope this style isn't continued on into the next book(s). Other than that, I'm always pleased with the calm style this series presents. Additionally, this was an audio version and I love Virginia Leishman's (sp?) narration. "

" I really like all of these "cozies" about Beatrix Potter. Great characters. Fun books for pure entertainment. "

" I just love these books. Witty, interesting, charming, cozy, delightful. I remember the characters even if it's been awhile since I read the previous book in the series. The animals add so much to the story too. "

" I love the way this author had Beatrix Potter as a character in this series. In this one she finds a baby on the doorstep and she and the village constable try to find out where baby Flora has come from. As a side story, Jemma PuddleDuck is trying to become a mother because she wants to prove to everyone that she can stick it out and hatch a clutch of eggs herself. "

" After the first two, I was a little disappointed in this one, not because of the writing, but because of the plot. I'm not big on stories dealing with babies and marriage. Plus, there was no real mystery or tension in this one. Still, I do like how strong Beatrix is, so it's worth reading. "

" Sweet, as always, but it didn't really do much to move the series along. "

" What a wonderful series. I love when books take on their own worlds, time periods, and characters and make you feel like you are there. "

" Another solid entry in the Beatrix Potter series, this one aimed a little more towards children at least it seemed that way to me. Amazing series of mysteries, I've read the first four books and so far only one killing. "

" Wonderful premise, a lovely little read. Great back story on Jemima Puddle Duck! "

" Fun read. If you are a fan of Beatrix Potter these books are delightful. "

" Another fine addition to this gentle cozy series. "

" I loved this book. Light reading but very evocative of the era and the Lake District "

" The most recent in this series, this book highlights the plight of Jemima Puddle Duck. I love the way these stories give the viewpoints of both the animals and the people without being disgustingly cheesy. "

" This was a very cute story. The main plot was a mystery but it had a lot of little mysteries along the way. Definitely recommend to any Beatrix Potter fans! "

" I'm enjoying this series, but this one about an abondoned baby seemed a bit more serious, and thus slightly less charming, than the others so far. "

" I like this series. But I wish she would cut back on the pseudo-Potter bits with the animals and concentrate on the people. Only Beatrix Potter could do Beatrix Potter and it comes off as awfully cutesy-wutsey here. "

" I find the mix of a real person and her known life with fictional mysteries to be fun. "

" Great series. It is youth friendly, and is a great way to introduce mysteries. "

" It was cute, but it's another one of those books that for some reason are so hard to read straight through in a timely manner. "

" This mystery series is set in the English Lake District with Beatrix Potter as an amateur sleuth. The author provides a cast of characters indicating actual historic persons, but most of the characters are fictional. A good read for anyone interested in Beatrix Potter and/or the Lake District. "

" I didn't like the way the author addressed the reader throughout the book...it was distracting. I don't remember this being in the other books... "

" Fourth in the series. Very like the others. I liked it, but it was a little slow because I had read too many to close together. "

" This series is charming escapism. My kind of book. "

" Another fine addition to this gentle cozy series. "

" I'm really enjoying this series and just ordered the rest that weren't in stock at Borders. I also ordered the rest of Susan's series where Beatrix Potter was a secondary character in one of the books (written under Robin Paige). Looking forward to starting the China Bayles series next. "

" Great series. It is youth friendly, and is a great way to introduce mysteries. "

" Fun read. If you are a fan of Beatrix Potter these books are delightful. "

" Another solid entry in the Beatrix Potter series, this one aimed a little more towards children at least it seemed that way to me. Amazing series of mysteries, I've read the first four books and so far only one killing. "

" I really enjoyed this! It was such a pleasant story, and I loved all the characters. I thought it was the first in the series, but I was wrong. Now I will have to go back and find the others. Very good reading. "
