Crafted by the creator of the beloved Mrs. Pollifax series, this little gem of a novel sparkles with romance and intrigue. The story whisks you to the enchanting rural abode known as Thale’s Folly, whose occupants are anything but fools. As you get to know these charming people and their magical home, a delicious scent of mystery infuses the fresh country air.

Andrew Thale is not exactly thrilled when his overbearing father sends him on an errand to assess the property inherited from an eccentric aunt. Andrew is intrigued though, when he finds the house fully occupied. Its odd and interesting residents have a calming effect on him, especially the beautiful young woman named Tarragon. But his arrival seems to have set a series of mysterious events into motion. Narrator John McDonough’s engaging performance lets you share in the excitement and camaraderie. Like Andrew Thale, you will want to linger in this mellow country haven.

This is one of the best books I've listened to by Dorothy Gilman. I've been a fan of the Mrs. Pollifax series (read by Barbara Rosenblat) for the last year and decided to listen to others by Ms. Gilman. However, my enjoyment was greatly enhanced by the reading style of John McDonough!

Most satisfying tale

Refreshing story

I found Ms. Gilman's stories via her works about Mrs. Polifax. I had no clue she wrote other works. I have found as much enjoyment in her other works ( including this special story) as those I adored with Mrs. Polifax.
The narration by John McDonough truly brought this story to life.
Thank you Ms. Gilman and Mr. John McDonough for the hours of pleasure.

What an intriguing story!
