    Delightful escape from a sad world
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022*

I freely confess to having always had a weakness for books with talking animals, beginning with my childhood reading of Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows. Both are still favorites, along with many others, and still read frequently. So I was predisposed to like this series and, thankfully, it did not disappoint. The author is familiar with the time period and the life of Beatrix Potter, and both are treated with respect and a welcome absence of anachronisms. The animals are charming and gracefully woven into these simple stories, while having a critical part to play. If I have a criticism, and it's a minor one, the narrative tone is a bit arch and sometimes has the effect of assuming the reader's agreement where that assumption might be a bit presumptuous. This minor point aside, I've read the entire series with pleasure more than once, and that, in my case, is high praise.

    Charming and whimsical, but don't expect a typical mystery.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2012*

The blurb on the back cover of this novel has this information, "But when a villager dies unexpectedly, with allegations of foul play, Sawrey turns out to be anything but quiet....."  I read this and expected to get a novel where Beatrix Potter would play a Miss Marple type character in a cozy English village setting with murders left and right.  That book description sentence was constructed in such a way as to allow me to get the wrong impression.  Thankfully the novel was a very good reading experience for me, but not until I had completely readjusted my expectations and accepted what was actually written.This is a very charming, warm, sensitive story of Beatrix Potter arriving in Sawrey village in the Lake District and her efforts to finalize the purchase of Hill Top Farm.  There are many decisions which need to be made about the farm, especially since there is a farmer and his family in residence there and provisions must be thought out for how to handle the problem of everyone fitting into a too-small accommodation.  There is not just one mystery in this story, there are many and Miss Potter is not the only person responsible for solving them.  Instead of thinking about this novel as a murder mystery, think about it more as a very small community of people who are so closely connected in their lives by proximity to each other that they cannot help but all get involved in each other's business.I found this book very relaxing and soothing once I stopped expecting to be reading a conventional murder mystery.  There are animals in the story which talk - but only to other animals, they cannot be heard by the humans.  In actuality, the animals play a large part in helping relate information to the reader about any situation in progress because the animals tell each other what they have just seen or heard.  In order to appreciate this style of storytelling a reader has to completely trust the author to make them feel comfortable and accepting of all the elements of the storytelling.  Perhaps a reader of this series should be someone who so enjoys the stories of Beatrix Potter that they have no problems allowing mice, rabbits, hedgehogs, and cats and dogs to be vital characters in the book.  I enjoyed it immensely because it was so different and it takes the English cozy style of novel to a level I had never experienced.  It's almost a shame to classify it as a mystery, because of the expectation that category engenders with readers.  Instead, read it for the lovely descriptions of the location, the perceptive insights into life in a tiny community, and the facts regarding the life of Beatrix Potter.

    The Tale of Hill Top Farm
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2009*

The Tale of Hill Top Farm is a wonderful book.  I've read it twice and will reread it because it is like a delicious casserole on a wintery day __ real comfort food for the mind.  I think that Susan Wittig Albert's books should appear on audio tape, or better still, video tape for children because she writes so grammatically and with a wonderful sense of style and vocabulary.  Her work would be a great teacher of language skills.  She uses her animals for life lessons, especially when she attaches the lessons to those of the inhabitants of the Sawreys.  The description of the villages and of the architecture and the foods make me long for  life in the early 1900s.  In addition to all of the above good things, Albert does a splendid job of blending the facts with fiction of Beatrix Potter's life.  Because of this book, I've bought all the rest in the series plus a good number of others about Beatrix Potter and the Lake District.
