Description
Fans of Lemony Snicket and the Mysterious Benedict Society books will devour the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, about a governess and her three charges—children who have been raised by wolves.
In The Interrupted Tale, the fourth title in the acclaimed and hilarious mystery series, Miss Penelope Lumley’s sixteenth birthday is not quite sweet. Her parents remain absent, and her friend, Simon, has not been heard from since he went to visit his ailing great-uncle Pudge in the old sailors’ home.
Luckily, an invitation to speak at the annual Celebrate Alumnae Knowledge Exposition (or CAKE) at the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females provides just the diversion Penelope needs. But when Penelope is asked by the Swanburne board of trustees to demonstrate the academic progress of her three wolfish students, so the board can judge the true worth of a Swanburne education, the future of her school—and of her job as governess to the Incorrigibles—hangs in the balance.

      • bioText: Maryrose Wood is the author of The Mysterious Howling, The Hidden Gallery, and The Unseen Guest, the first three books in this continuing series about the Incorrigible children and their governess. These books may be considered works of fiction, which is to say, the true bits and the untrue bits are so thoroughly mixed together that no one should be able to tell the difference. This process of fabrication is fully permitted under the terms of the author's Poetic License, which is one of her most prized possessions.

        Maryrose's other qualifications for writing these tales include a scandalous stint as a professional thespian, many years as a private governess to two curious and occasionally rambunctious pupils, and whatever literary insights she may have gleaned from living in close proximity to a clever but disobedient dog.

      • content: Narrator Katherine Kellgren uses just the right amount of animated exuberance to portray the Incorrigibles, children who were raised by wolves. In this installment, the children and their governess, Penelope, travel to the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, where Penelope will give a speech and attempt to save the school from ruin by a mysterious trustee. Kellgren's dramatic flair builds anticipation and brings out humorous wordplay, complete with iambic pentameter as well as language and literature lessons. Her character voices are hilarious, and her singing voice is delightful. Frequent extreme and unexpected volume changes between villainous whispers and evil bellows do distract a bit from the listening. The story remains unresolved, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next in the series. M.M.G. (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

      • content: Newly graduated from England's Swanbourne Academy for Poor Bright Females, prim and very proper Miss Penelope Lumley is hired as a governess for three children living at Ashton Place. The 15-year-old Penny takes it in stride when she discovers the children were raised by wolves and communicate only in barks and growls. Katherine Kellgren's outstanding interpretation sets just the right tone in this clever and amusing tale. Her ability to speak effortlessly with varying British accents--from aristocratic to Cockney--allows listeners to become completely absorbed. Kellgren's reserved Miss Lumley rises to the challenge when the snobbish Lady Ashton insists she must civilize the three orphans before her holiday ball. Kellgren's charming narration will leave listeners howling for the next installment. L.A.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
