About this listen

 Down in Blackberry Bottom lives Miss Slade, a strange – and rather dirty – old lady. The village children think she's a witch. But Patsy and Jim like her and her six dogs, her donkey and other assorted animals. Miss Slade may not be a witch, but she's not what she seems.©1999 Fox Busters Ltd (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Literature & Fiction

Critic Reviews

"This simple, sweet story teaches us that people are not always as they seem." (School Library Journal)
"The book is crisply and clearly read by British comic actress, June Witfield. She handles the voices well, from the cultured Miss Slade to the naive Jim." (School Library Journal)

I used to listen to this story book as a child. I have just listened to it again as a 31 year old and can say it's just as wholesome and as peaceful as I remember it to be.

A great listen
