The final book in this unique eight-book series.
PRAISE FOR THE TALE OF CASTLE COTTAGE:
"Charming...Albert does a fine job of recreating the wistful, nostalgic mood of Potter's children's books."
—Publishers Weekly
"Because you are fond of fairy-tales...I have made you a story all for yourself, a new one that nobody has read before."
—Miss Beatrix Potter
"Whimsical, fanciful and magical...a precious tale."
—Genre Go Round Reviews
"Albert successfully conveys the atmosphere of Potter's own writing and pictures...The reader is plunged into a magical yet real world of people with problems and animals with common sense. This is the first of a series. Bring on the rest!"
—Janet Overmyer, www.Iloveamysterynewsletter.com
"An exceptional mystery novel where we not only get to see some puzzles solved, but we also meet some wonderfully rich and vibrant characters. The reader also gets a wonderful picture of English village life and a tantalizing look into the heart and soul of one of the world's most famous children's book writers."
—The Looking Glass Review
"...This is a book for all ages, but it seems to fit the bill perfectly for middle-schoolers who are looking for mysteries and like animal stories...Beatrix is not only an author and illustrator, she is a first-rate sleuth. We bet this series will appeal to you and your middle-school mystery fan."
—The Detroit Free Press
