Reviews for The Tale of Applebeck Orchard
7 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an entry in a very charming little series based on Beatrix Potter's life. The sense of time and place makes these books particularly special. Although the mystery in each is not generally true to history (neither are the talking animals...probably), the spirit of Beatrix's life is there, and this entry is a very satisfying one.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the second book I've read in the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter. It is a fun, quick little read and I think that anyone who likes animals or small town tales would enjoy it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Susan Wittig Albert has written another delightful tale in her Beatrix Potter series. The story takes place in the Land Between the lakes in 1910. Miss Potter has come for a very short visit to the village of Sawney, and there is quite a bit of action that occurs during the few days she is there. A walking path is blocked by a land owner, causing great consternation to the villagers, and the same land owner suffers a series of mysterious fires. There is also romance aplenty in this novel. Plus, the badgers play a role along with a few other animals, as usual. I do not always enjoy the animal sections of the books as much as the human ones, but given that the subject is Beatrix Potter, they are tolerable. Overall, I think this is one of the stronger books in the series. Read it an enjoy!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There is so much going on in Near and Far Sawrey. So many people feel trapped by their lots in life. It takes stepping out of their comfort zones for Beatrix, Captain Woodcock, and Will Heelis to make sure that the people of the Land Between the Lakes get what they deserve. (Good or bad, including themselves).The prominent narrator in this story does a splendid job of tying up all the loose ends in the community, including the lives of various talking animals.Both children and adults will enjoy this story.
