Susan Wittig Albert has done it again. This new series is as well written, thought out and researched as any of the books in her other two series, the China Bayles series and the historical mysteries written under the pseudonym of Robin Paige. This series follows Beatrix Potter during the years between 1905-1913 as she buys a small farm in a little English village, gets to know the characters in the village and helps them solve the mysteries that come up during her visit. This series also involves the animals she has as pets, who travel with her on her journies, such as Flopsy the rabbit plus the animals who live in the village, Crumpet the cat, Rascal the Jack Russell Terrier and their buddies. This series is a charming, funny, gentle read and I would certainly recommend this book, and I'm confident the other books in the series, very highly. Enjoy them!
