Magic Flutes by Eva Ibbotson

3.0

well, wasn't that fuckin adorable

the only unpredictable thing that happened in this was that at one point an eccentric nobleman's normally docile pet bear has a fireworks-induced flashback rampage. and it's treated with the utmost sympathy for the poor, terrified bear.

this book is so unbelievably gentle. like it's so??? sweet?

audiobook narrator's accents were a little all over the place but her general tone sounded like she was telling a secret joke the entire time which was pretty delightful
