      There's something for everyone in this story. First, there's a fantasy involving the drama between various small animals. There's also a fairy-tale note as children seek fairies on May Day. And among the adults in the story, there's the mystery of the curious new bride of Major Kitteridge. In the Lake Country of 1907, beloved visitor Beatrix Potter may be able to help all three groups. Virginia Leishman has a voice for everyone. She makes listeners familiar with the gossipy villagers, portrays the erudite Potter, and creates characters for the animals. Her once-upon-a-time tone makes listeners suspend their last bit of disbelief. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      At the start of Albert's enchanting third Beatrix Potter mystery set in England's Lake District (after 2005's The Tale of Holy How
      ), Miss Potter discovers that her beloved Hill Top Farm is overrun with rats. In the nearby town of Far Sawrey, mild-mannered vicar Samuel Sackett also finds himself plagued with unwanted visitors: a cousin and his wife who have long overstayed their welcome. There are also rumors that a mysterious Mr. Richardson plans to build holiday villas on the shores of Lake Windermere, and he appears to be in league with Mrs. Kittredge, the beautiful new wife of the master of Raven Hall. Ridley Rattail, one of Hill Top Farm's resident rats, contrives to rid the farm of its unwanted rodents, but when his program backfires, he must seek a way to redeem the situation. Rich descriptions of the countryside and the imaginative rendering of the animal characters make this gentle tale a delight from start to finish.
