About this listen

When Penelope goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in an ancient Derbyshire farmhouse, she is immediately drawn to the wonderful atmosphere and longs to discover all its secrets. Soon she finds herself slipping back in time to the sixteenth century….

When Penelope goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in an ancient Derbyshire farmhouse, she is immediately drawn to the wonderful atmosphere of the place and longs to discover all the secrets of its past. Soon, Penelope finds herself slipping back in time to the sixteenth century, where she is welcomed by the Babbington family whose home it was then.
As the lines between past and present blur, Penelope becomes caught up in the tragic events that befall her new friends, as they make plans to rescue the doomed monarch, Mary Queen of Scots.

Beautifully read but sadly not complete, slightly adapted. Still a great listen or read. A lovely tale beautifully written.

My favourite childhood book

The only slight negative is that this is an abridged version of the book. The narrator is exquisite and deals with all the voices perfectly from1930s London to 16 century Derbyshire dialect. It has sublime descriptions of the English countryside and a beautiful plot. Highly recommended!!

Evocative and beautiful

It lead me on telling a story of how a girl could see shadows and figures. It was delightful

I am an adult and thoroughly enjoyed this. If you did to and love Tudor history, read le temps viendra - the time will come- Anne Boleyn.

Wonderful

Wonderful narration, but very abridged version. Such a shame, over halfof this charming story is missing. Even full version would only have been no more than six hours, so not sure why it needed to be so reduced.
