Title: Belle's Tale

Subtitle: A Short Story - After Dickens

Narrator: Jill Jacobs

Format: Unabridged

Length: 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-17

Publisher: Pyegar Press

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

This encapsulates a notion, a bit of whimsy that occurred to me. A "whatever happened to...?" for a minor character from Dickens' old tale.

In the full text of A Christmas Carol, a mature Belle is briefly seen by Scrooge at home with her husband and children. She is also seen in a caregiving setting in the wonderful 1951 film version starring Alastair Sim.

Dickens, Scrooge and A Christmas Carol walk the earth again

As I began reading this wonderful short story I felt as Scrooge did in A Christmas Carol when his doorknocker morphed into the face of Jacob Marley. Dickens and Scrooge have come back to life! For we who hold A Christmas Carol as the literary embodiment of the meaning and the power of Christmas will enjoy this lyrical, nostalgic and heartfelt sequel to the Scrooge story. Dave Davis nicely captures the Dickensian spirit and Dickensian language; he gives us more of what we love - more Christmas Carol. A wonderful story to share on Christmas Eve. And that's no humbug!

it's nice to take a wander down an uncharted path

Only giving four stars instead of five because colonial pieces aren't really my thing -- but that said, as we sit around our televisions for countless hours this holiday season treading the same well-traveled roads we've traveled in years past, it's nice to take a wander down an uncharted path. And that's just what Mr. Davis does here, exploring the potential rekindling of Ebeneezer Scrooge's relationship with the fiancee that got away...

Although set and toned in the style of Dickens' original, the story provides some not-so-subtle parallels between Olde England and present-day America, but Davis never strays too far from the characters, which are the real interest here. A solid read; print it and sit by your fire for half-an-hour or so and enjoy!!

A Worthy Epilogue to Dickens' A Christmas Carol

Davis' work fits seamlessly alongside Dickens' original; one could be forgiven for mistaking the style for Dickens himself. As such, expect the prose to befit Dickens' time. It's a wonderful epilogue to the classic tale; a chance for Scrooge to reconcile the life he learned to change with his new, better angels, and find something of a happy ending for himself. This short work humanizes Scrooge more so than the original piece, as befits a man who is truly changed.

Each story has a completely different setting and theme, ...

Each story has a completely different setting and theme, but each grabs your attention and keeps it. The author has a gift of writing with a completely different voice with each tale, a skill not often seen in today's writers.

Engaging and heartwarming historical romance

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Water Gypsy; historical romance is one of my favourite genres and I'm very pleased to have discovered this author and and narrator - I will be definitely be looking for more work by both.

The plot runs along smoothly and never really loses pace, gathering momentum to a very satisfying ending. The main characters are rich and round with Tilly the heroine having an engaging mix of fiesty and yet innocent and the protagonists leave you deeply concerned for her.

Kay writes confidently for this era and sweeps you away to a different time of hardship and opulence running side by side. Kristina brings Kay's characters to life - her range of vocals and her ability to portray the men as well as the women leave you in no doubt who's speaking and what they are feeling. I got quite lost in the story and listened to it in 2 afternoons!

Members Reviews:

good read. I love how Mrs

Thunder's Shadow is simply a pure, good read. I love how Mrs. Hollinghead depicted the old South during WWII. I recognized so many of the 'sayings' used in the characters' dialogue. They are the same sayings I heard my parents and grandparents use so much in years past. I found myself chuckling at them. Speaking of dialogue, Thunder's Shadow has plenty of that! The dialogue keeps the story rolling along. This book is a very easy read, suitable for teens and adults.

love these stories!

I've enjoyed all of these books in the series, and though this one seemed a little more choppy, it covered a larger span of time. The author does a great job of creating believable characters who are not perfect, who don't always see themselves the way others see them, but who end up strong in their faith. Great story lines too!

She has done it again!

Sheila Hollinghead has written another "page turner." Great read that is hard to put down (even when you really need to be doing some else). Loved seeing Sarah Jane's trust in Michael and God grow. Would really like to know "the rest of the story" when Michael returns from the War. -- Amy Littleton

Wonderful Christian Book

I enjoyed getting to know more of the characters better and to see how God's hand was in all the situations. No detailed sexual contents, thank you to the author. I recommend this book and this author this is the 3rd book of 4 in the series. I hate to see it end I have become attached to these people in the book

Excellent story!

I found this book in my library that I downloaded back in December. I forgot all about it. So glad I discovered it. I loved all the characters. Loved reading how things were back in the day. I pray there will be a follow up on Jay & Michael. Read all of Sheila's books. You will be praying for more!

An unlikely pair in the 16th Century

Alyssa has done much research to fit fact with her fiction. Most of what we know about such characters as Lord Darnley, Charlie Baillie, Mary, Queen of Scots and many others is woven together with the disappearance of the heroine's sister. Her friend in arms (the other part of the pair) becomes more than just a companion in this historical romp of a book. Readable, fun, descriptive and charming, any reader - male or female - will be delighted with this enjoyable tale.

The story is intriguing

I've recently grown to love the time period of this series (1500s) and this author does a fantastic job of drawing you into that period, yet you won't be bogged down in too much detail. The story is intriguing and moves along quickly. I really enjoyed this writer's style!

High Adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced adventure of this story. It kept me turning pages and I wanted to know what was coming next. The story was filled with intrigue and suspense. Good job. Can't wait to read more stories I'm sure will follow.

Great Read!

I absolutely loved this book! I could not wait to read more about each character and read about what happens next! This book is very engaging and full of surprises. Alyssa Dean Copeland is a great writer who keeps the audience in suspense. At this point, I want to know what happens next (no spoilers here) and am anxiously awaiting to see where the road leads to next for these characters! Will there be a sequel?

Excellent Read!

I just finished this book a few weeks ago while I was on vacation - wonderful book! It took me on an adventurous journey to another place and time. Loved it!

Publisher's Summary:

Emily Porter was the son her father never had and was ever faithful and dutiful a daughter as there ever was, for she tended the animals, helped in the gardens, and even assisted with carpentry when it was asked of her. She believed that fate had a way of making itself known, and when her mother presented her with a flier for the town meeting on the square, Emily knew that she had to be there. The main speaker, the devilishly handsome and charming Duke of York, had stolen her heart the first time she saw him speak months ago. The duke, Matthew Earnest, haunted her very dreams and when she caught his attention after the meeting, he could think of nothing other than asking her to dinner.

Matthew and Emily have a whirlwind courtship and love is in the air, but her father has already made arrangements with Aldous Barret, widower and man with a reputation for being rough, for her hand in marriage. Thinking that nothing was set in stone, the duke asks for Emily's hand in marriage and is also given the impression that he is to marry the Porter girl. When Aldous makes a move, can Matthew save his true love before harm befalls her, or will she be forced into marriage to the cranky miser? Will love overcome, or will she have to spend the rest of her days yearning for the love that could have been?
