About this listen

The duke's daughter, Adela, masquerades as a peasant for a small taste of freedom...until she falls in love with a commoner who has no idea who she really is. In this reverse reimagining of the Cinderella story, secrets and dangerous enemies threaten a fairy-tale romance.

Adela, daughter of the powerful Duke of Hagenheim, is rarely allowed outside the castle walls. Longing for freedom, one day she sneaks away to the market disguised as a peasant. There, she meets a handsome young woodcarver named Frederick.

Frederick is a poor farmer and the sole provider for his family, and he often has to defend his mother from his father’s drunken rages. He dreams of making a living carving beautiful images into wood, and he is thrilled when the Bishop of Hagenheim commissions him to carve new doors for the cathedral. As Frederick works on the project, he and Adela meet almost daily, and it doesn’t take long for them to fall in love. Even as their relationship grows, her true identity remains hidden from him, and he believes she is a commoner like him.

When disaster separates them, Adela and Frederick find themselves caught in the midst of deceptions far more dangerous than innocent disguises. As the powerful lords set against them proceed with their villainous plans, secrets emerge that put Frederick and Adela’s future at risk.

  • Full-length, clean fairy-tale reimagining
  • The final Hagenheim story; can be read as a stand-alone

Bittersweet

I hate to see this series end (sigh). This is Adela’s love story and, wow, is it a wild ride. Treachery, betrayal, death and lies keep the couple apart. Thankfully true love wins in the end.
This has been a truly wonderful and satisfying journey through Hagenheim. Thank you, Melanie, for sharing your gift with us. The stories are blessings.

Loved it!


Very good and unique Cinderella story


The best narrator, Jude Masons voice grabs you from the star of the story.

Love all of her books

Can’t wait till a new series comes out! The reading is always exciting with never slow boring moments and not overly dramatic that it isn’t realistic. Jude Mason’s voice is one of my favorites.

Every book written by Melanie Dickerson just keeps getting better & better!

“The Peasants Dream” is the third book I’ve read by this author and I can’t stop reading and listening to her stories. I love books that have romance but most importantly a story line that’s not all about sex or cheesy fake juvenile characters which, whine, chase and has a story that lags on until the end. Melanie Dickerson’s stories are beautiful, pilot filled storylines with in your seat, can’t put the book down so, you don’t miss a thing kind of story. And a wonderfully done performance by Jude Mason puts you right there with her and all the characters.

Just basic

The story followed the basic format of these types of stories. There was no originality and nothing to keep you interested because you know the plot from the beginning.
