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.

A lost life of villages past
Having been raised in a small village, I was transported into a world that seems so lost now! The cohesiveness, the morals, the love, laughter and caring of and for others now a thing of the past. I loved the characters, the plotting and interaction of the villagers of Bilbury. Dr Vernon Coleman has a real gift of putting pen to paper and describing it all and has a wicked sense of humour. The reader sounds rather like the author too, which made it very easy to listen to. I have most of Dr Vernon Coleman’s books and have listened to most of his podcasts of late, of which I am 100% agreeable. I would love for more of his books to be on Audible. God bless you Dr Vernon Coleman. I still live in a village, but the “village life” is lost. I wonder if it will ever return.

More Bilbury fun,
Another visit to Bilbury, From a fun and incident packed review and a cricket match that makes me wish that all cricket matches could be this interesting to the village fayre.
I love these books and am a little disappointed that only 3 of the 15 are available on Audible.
I will try and read the rest of the series but wonder if they will be the same without the excellent narration bringing the characters to life.
