Miss Buncle's Book

De: D. E. Stevenson

Narrado por: Patricia Gallimore

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.

Delightful in every way!

Laugh out loud funny! A delightful book, with delightful characters. My favorite chapter was the meeting of the outraged at Mrs. Featherstone-Hogg's. The performance was absolutely incredible. I think this book is more fun as an audiobook because the reader is fabulous with accents and characterizations.

Amusing

Too funny! I loved the story line, and the narrator did a good job of portraying the characters.

Kudos to the author of a fun clean novel

I could not wait to keep listening. I hope the,2nd one is just as entertaining! Thank you again for your craftsmanship. I found this book bc of the narrator search.

Awesome

Loved it
will read it over and over. The storyline was fantastic and the laughs were great

Loved it!

So much fun! Charming characters. I was impressed by how the author was able to create obvious caricatures of people typical to a small town and yet give them such truth and depth. I would absolutely recommend this to friends looking for a light hearted read. A pleasant escape to a simpler time.

And the reader was wonderful! Like yummy raspberry sauce on a perfect cheesecake.

👍

Impossible to put it down once you've started!! Highly recommended for everyone!!! I loved it!

All’s Well That Ends Well!

Loved this book and interesting cast of characters found in Miss Buncle’s village. It was a joy to see the story unfold and the plot twists and turns. The narrator was superb!

Charming and Superbly Written

This was my very first D.E. Stevenson novels and remains one of my favorite. It is completely charming and very well-written. The plotline and character development is masterfully wrought. I'm very pleased with the audio version.

Gentle Satire is the best in a well written book

I love a gentle book about a small village with a group of families. Jane Austen said it best, didn't she? Now add wonderful satire. Miss Buncle needs to make some money, so she writes a book, published under the name of John Smith. She innocently writes characters based on the people in the village, but writes them as they really are, not as they want themselves to be seen. The villagers are wanting to sue for libel because the character is obviously them --- but of course it is not them. It's great fun.

Delightful!

Such a fun and delightful book! Patricia Gallimore does a fantastic job narrating this English gem!
