The Tale of Applebeck Orchard
(2009)(The sixth book in the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter series)
A novel by Susan Wittig Albert
The latest delightful tale in Albert's Beatrix Potter series.
Out of spite for having his haystacks burnt, Mr. Harmsworth barricades a common path through his orchard - and Tabitha Twitchet and her Cat Council want answers. Reliable witnesses, including some Big Folk, say the arson was the handiwork of a lantern-wielding specter. The mournful ghost has a message - and Miss Potter, for one, hopes to figure it out.
Meanwhile in Sawrey, romance buds between the schoolmarm and a confirmed bachelor; Hyacinth Badger hopes to be the first female to earn the Badger Badge of Honor; and a rumor has Beatrix and the solicitor practically betrothed. But the matter of the barricade involves everyone - and Miss Potter and her friends might have to take matters into their own hands - and paws.
Genre: Historical Mystery
