The Hidden Gallery (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton
Place #2) by Maryrose Wood, narrated by, Katherine Kellgren
Checked out from the Library
LENGTH:5 hrs and 58 mins
This is such a fun series, in this one we find out that
there is a curse on the children, we
also get a few more hints at a connections between Miss Lumley and the children
beyond the fact that she is their governess, also what is going on with Lord Ashton
and just what is his actual connection with the children. Miss Lumley also
meets a very interesting man named Simon who may end up being the man for her.
Old Tom may not be as creepy and scary as we first assumed. Also what is the
connection with the paintings in the secret room in the museum and the paintings
in the attic?
When Miss Lumley, Simon and the children go to a West End
production about pirates Miss Lumley thinks this will be a great educational
opportunity for the children but as you can guess things do not go as planned what
happens at the show and the chase through the streets of London were hilarious.
We also get more of the gypsy woman and a parrot and pirates.
I also love that the children will say the most intelligent
things then end the sentence with a howl. I can’t wait to know the answers to
my questions and to spend more time with these incorrigible children.
As usual Katherine Kellgren’s narration was pure perfection,
her narration of Lady Constance is such fun and in my head she is classic movie
star Billie Burke (Mrs.Topper, the mother in You Can’t Take it With You and
Glinda the good witch in Wizard of Oz, she’s a great actress). Katherine does
these awhooof’s of the children’s language so well. I can’t imagine anyone else
doing as good of a job as Katherine Kellgren does!
I am hoping book 3 will be available from the library soon;
I need to know what happens next.
4 ½ Stars
