Lady Osbaldestone's Christmas Goose by Stephanie Laurens
5.0
Just as magical and wonderful as when I first read it! The recently widowed Grand Dame Lady O is spending Christmas at her dower property in the village of Little Mosely, and, if all goes well and she feels comfortable and engaged in village affairs, planning on making it her permanent home when not in London or visiting friends. However some of her young grandchildren descend on her for the holidays when their father becomes ill. At first wondering how to entertain them, soon they are all wrapped up in village affairs, the local annual holiday traditions and some gentle matchmaking when they set out to assist Farmer Took solve the mystery of the disappearance one day of the flock of geese being fattened up for the villagers' Christmas dinners.
This time I listened to an audio book read by the incomparable Helen Lloyd. Absolute perfection. Her voice, intonation, and performance was perfect for Lady O, her children and the villagers. By a landslide, this was my most successful pandemic listen....graduating to amusing me while I put together a jigsaw puzzle rather than help me sleep.
