Sinopsis

In "Harding's Luck," E. Nesbit masterfully weaves a tale that combines elements of fantasy and everyday life, reflecting the late Victorian era's shifting social dynamics. The narrative follows the misadventures of Mr. Harding, an unassuming clerk whose life takes unexpected turns due to a series of lucky occurrences. Nesbit's prose is imbued with sharp wit and a keen understanding of human nature, showcasing her unique ability to blend humor with nuanced social commentary. The book sits comfortably within the genre of children's literature while appealing to a broader audience, as it grapples with themes of fortune, resilience, and the unpredictability of life. E. Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children's literature, was influenced by her own experiences of hardship and fantasy. Born in 1858, she was an advocate for children's rights and a fervent supporter of social reform. Her background in social activism and her fascination with imaginative storytelling shaped her narrative style, inviting readers into a world where the ordinary confronts the extraordinary. "Harding's Luck" is a delightful read for anyone captivated by charm, humor, and the intricate dance of fate and fortune. Whether you are revisiting Nesbit's enchanting worlds or discovering them for the first time, this novel promises to engage your imagination and evoke a sense of wonder, making it an essential addition to your literary collection.

    THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919 
    Book 6 of 6 The Legend of the Forest Guardian  
    The summary of this final book in the series is as follows: 
    As autumn settles over Ashdown Forest, the Girl Brownies encounter strange phenomena—mysterious footprints, disappearing items, and eerie whistling—that locals attribute to the legendary Forest Guardian. Their investigation (complete with flour traps and night watches) culminates in a dramatic reveal: their mentor Mr. Hawthorne has been perpetuating the myth to protect the woods, using clever tricks like oversized footprints and wartime whistling techniques. 
    The girls' final adventure teaches them that true guardianship isn't supernatural—it's the quiet dedication of those who love the forest. As winter approaches, they realize they've become Ashdown's next generation of protectors, carrying forward the spirit of the legend through their own conservation work. 
    The initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel.  
    The story and music itself runs to just about 35 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
