![]() ![]() ![]() Though this talking animals bit is pretty appropriate for stories about Beatrix Potter, I was afraid it might come off fairly twee. The animals in the village take a keen interest in village goings on, talk amongst themselves, and sometimes try to manipulate events as they see fit. There have been some odd occurrences in the village, including a death some of the villagers think might have been suspicious. This story follows Potter and the goings on in the village of Sawrey as Potter comes to inspect the farm she has purchased with proceeds from her books (the basic outline of Potter's life as depicted here is accurate). I'm still undecided on whether this will suit, or if the little flaws will add up to irritation after another volume or two. I've had my eye on this series for a while as a possible go-to when I want something short, pleasant, and not too taxing. Pleasant little cozy mystery set in 1905 in the Lake District and featuring Beatrix Potter. ![]()
