Great lighthearted romance

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. Rejected in love, the incredibly rich (but appropriately modest) George Bellow walks into a small English village populated with a cast of most interesting people, from the ramrod straight old Major who can't seem to get beyond talking of peaches with the apple of his eye, to the smarmy Mr. Cassilis who seems to think that the beautiful Anthea (and her farm at Dapplemere) can be had for the asking - if only he asks often enough. And then there is Anthea -- a lovely woman, caring for those around here though full of cares herself and too proud to accept help from anyone. The characters are engaging and well drawn - and the mix and interplay of people made this a very fun book to listen to. This is a solo recording by John Lieder and he does an excellent job crafting voices for the inhabitants of Mr. Bellow's Arcadia. He's easy to listen to and adds a spark to this lovely story.

A Hero Who Can Cry

As an American who has been labeled one of "America's Heroes" (a handle which is hard to handle) I loved this little story of love, truth and the faith of a little child. I must say that it was so sweet that I cried. Of course a "hero" never cries out loud but only in his/her heart. I would recommend it for everyone who has a heart and, I believe we all do but, as was shown in this little story, it may be difficult for us to admit it. But the reader was excellent as well as the story, and may God bless him for giving his time and talent for the benefit of others.

I concur with the other reviewers. This book made me laugh out loud a couple times, and was very tender while not being sappy. A very enjoyable story! And the reader is excellent. I'm glad I took the other reviewers' opinions and listened for myself. :)

I echo all said… in addition, the turn of phrase, use of our language so pleasant, genuine people who live in small villages as i have lived in England is so heartwarming… combination of various ages who see things differently, skip into a beneficial meeting ground …true values…a-lovely story

Likable characters, fairytale romance, not deep

Diverting romance with fun, funky characters that doesn’t scratch much beneath the surface. Still, a nice, simple distraction from the end of the world as we know it. Heh.

What a great story even though you can figure out the ending easy enough. The narrator drew me right in. I look forward to listening to more stories read by him.

A wonderful story and recording

Such a sweet, funny tale about money, work, friendship and romance. The reader does a delightful job, and the characters are charming and unforgettable. Highly reccomended.

The reader did a great job impersonating the various characters of the book! I had forgotten how funny this book was and the reader only enhanced this!
