I thought that the choice of material used was spot on, good to hope for more new stories.

Bringing all her old characters together in the final story was a nice touch, excellent.

Enjoyed the short stories as I found I could listen with ease the whole story. Loved the stories around Ruth and Nelson.
The stories are easy to listen to, very enjoyable, and well narrated. I hope we can have more of these short stories.

I usually find short stories disappointing but this collection was different. It kept my interest throughout and I enjoyed each one. I like the way it brought all the author’s characters up-to-date- more of this please.

Excellent collection of short stories.

A wide range of short stories, but the best are meeting our friends from all of Elly’s books in new adventures ( and re-hearing about the Christmas tree!). Now we have had a glimpse of what happened next to Ruth, Nelson and Kate we’d all like more please Elly! A lovely collection of voices with Jane Macdowall producing the cadences and voices we have grown to love. Oh and how good to hear from Flint!!

A wonderful chance to meet old friends

So good to hear more from my favourite characters from the ‘Ruth’ books particularly. Definitely missing those wonderful stories!

Fabulous stories. Beautifully read.

This book was just what I needed. It’s a beautiful collection of short stories mostly featuring the main characters from Elly’s novels. Recovering from COVID recently, I just hadn’t got the concentration to cope with a novel, but these stories really kept me going. Lovely to catch up with Ruth again too.

A lovely collection of short stories.
