ASTERCOTE

by Penelope Lively | Read by Frances Tomelty

Children • 5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1970

Peter and Mair, two present-day siblings, are immersed in the mystery of Astercote, a medieval village wiped out by the Black Plague. Actress Frances Tomelty gives this children's book a superb reading. She has a wonderful range of character voices and adapts the pace to match the suspense in Lively's dialogue-rich, fast-paced story. C.R.A. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 96]
