About this listen

Bilbury Revels is the third in the Young Country Doctor series of books and continues the account of the doctor and his young wife, Patsy, who are settled happily at Bilbury Grange.

Disaster strikes during a long, relentless storm which batters the village and blankets the whole area in a thick covering of snow. The doctor nearly loses his life, and the village schoolteacher loses her cottage roof. The excitement really starts when the villagers join together to raise money to repair the devastated cottage.

Vernon Coleman describes an old fashioned music hall evening (during which just about everything that can go wrong goes wrong), and one of the funniest cricket matches ever described is reported in Chapters 16 and 17. There is also a village produce show where the locals compete to find out who has grown the biggest and best vegetables. And, as if all that were not enough, the doctor has to promote his first book. He travels to London, makes his first (and hilarious) television appearance, and is invited to speak at a local village hall where things don't go entirely to plan.

Enjoyable

Nice easy story-likable characters and interesting storylines for the characters. But still a little unbelievable a dr would leave a practice

Too much filler

The first two I enjoyed. This book got bogged down with way too much about publishing his book, The cricket match, the show, and every single item and how many of each could be submitted for a fair contest. He tried to make it funny, but it was too drawn out and boring

rambling wreck

if you asked me what this particular book in the series was about, I couldn't give you one specific or standout theme. it was rambling all over the surface of characters and plits with absolutely no depth, and virtually the entire last 90 minutes plus was dedicated to listing out, one bt one, fruits, vegetables, and flower. I didn't mind the pace or light-hearted of the first 2 books in this series, but for me, this was a waste of time and money.

Satisfying Story of Village Life

In the genre of MISS READ series, an engaging story line, good performance. I wish the rest of the series was on audio!
