I listened to this on Audible, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator was really engaging, and the story itself was so good! Hester runs away with her sisters and her son, to escape the father of her son claiming him. They hide in a hunting lodge in Wales. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned.
I really enjoyed E C Fremantle’s last book (The Poison Bed) and this didn’t disappoint either. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, and this is rich in historical detail, both in the way that people lived and their social attitudes. It’s great stuff!

Jumper tells the story of a red ball that is desperate to escape from the toy store and explore the world. Thanks to some help from Mr Wind he is able to have some adventures.

Written for parents to read to their young children, Jumper will not only engage 4 year olds with the tale of the adventurous ball but also has some depth and scope for discussion between parent and child over some of the issues, such as the desire to explore versus obeying rules.

A good book that will be a favourite of parents and children to be read and re-read
