A comfortable story

Any additional comments?

This book is a very comfortable tale of Britain between WWI and WWII. The narrator does an excellent job supplying a variety of voices to add depth to the characters. I enjoyed hearing about daily life in the 1930s. That said--this is a continuation of an earlier DE Stevenson book --Miss Buncle's Book. The reader needs to be aware that it picks up where that book ends. However, they are very different books. I found the first book to be very funny. The exchanges between the characters and their reactions to life in the village of Silverstream were at times laugh out loud hysterical. In this book the character development and exploration were more superficial and spotty. For me the humor missed the mark. It was, as I have said before, a comfortable story but a bit plodding. Less quirky and in the end less entertaining. I had expected and looked forward to a continuation of the story telling style of the first book, it just never happened. Still--all in all --a pleasant listen.

Charming, funny, gentle yet witty story

This charming English village story is only a very little less witty than the first book of the series, Miss Buncle's Book, which sets the bar almost unfairly high for this genre. Elegantly crafted, delightful and amusing story chronicles Miss Buncle's happy marriage to her publisher from the previous book, a village romance, and the interactions of various quirky folks in Miss B's circle. It is a "nice" story but NOT insipid! If you like Jane Austen and Mrs. Gaskell you will enjoy this well-narrated tale.

Even better

I very much enjoyed the audiobook version of Miss Buncle's Book, so was delighted to find Patricia Gallimore's reading of the sequel, Miss Buncle Married. I was delighted to discover that she did an even better job reading this book than the first in the series! The characters come to life, and take the listener to the English Village of Wandlebury, where we and Miss Buncle, now Mrs Abbott, get to meet her new neighbors and experience village life to the full.

I love Miss Buncle!

This is just a great fun story! THere is a little romance and just good clean english fun. Life in a small village. Ms. Stevenson really does a great job with character development. I found that once I start listening I don't want the story to end. I think Miss Buncle is someone that most of us can sort of identify with. This is a book that the children and I can comfortably listen to while working together on some kitchen project or riding along in the car.
