Description
Author Maryrose Wood joins us on a bonus episode. Maryrose is the author of The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series that listeners can enjoy in six brilliant audiobooks. The Incorrigibles are set in Victorian England and focus on Miss Penelope Lumley, who is engaged as a governess to care for and educate three children who were originally raised by wolves. Mayhem ensues, and these rolicking stories are the perfect family audiobooks.
Maryrose shares her articulate insights about the special relationships she has had with the narrators of her books: Katherine Kellgren for five of the six titles, and Fiona Hardingham, who picked up the reins for the last title, THE LONG-LOST HOME.
Maryrose talks about how she developed the relationship between author and narrator—twice—and about choosing narrators who could find “that beautiful sweet spot between performing the book in this wildly external way while also preserving the intimacy of the reader’s relationship with the book.”
For families looking for the perfect listening experience to share over many hours, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place has it all—a heroine with pluck, optimism, and good common sense; many character voices, animal sounds, and sea shanties; literary jokes; and plenty of humor that adults will love, too. Hear from Maryrose about where her creative ideas spring from and the elements she brings together in her audiobooks.
