Garden Party, The & Other Stories
£8.70£9.50 (-8%)
Maeve Binchy is one of Britain’s most popular and bestselling authors, and this collection of four stories from the BBC Radio 4 archive shows her at her most insightful and imaginative. In The Garden Party, Helen envies her neighbour Debbie Kennedy’s garden – and her life – but discovers that things are not always as they seem; while The Special Sale sees lonely Yvonne arranging a special lunch for her friend Frank and his children on the day after Christmas. The Sensible Celebration finds Lorna about to throw a small party to celebrate the decade gone by: but as she plans, she starts to think about her life, and her marriage. Finally, in Dolly’s Mother, the beauty, grace and efficiency of her perfect parent have always made Dolly feel inferior – until the day of her sixteenth birthday. These four stories, never collected together in book form and unique to audio, are read by acclaimed actors Niamh Cusack, Dervla Kirwan, Doreen Hepburn and Stella McCusker.

all stories heart warming
by Sheelagh Clifford
Maeve Binchy is always a good read and her books are hard to put down once you have started them. I found this a very relaxing way to read or should I say listen to her books. The stories are of her usual high standard and keep your interest right to the end.
I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to listen to a good story they leave you wanting to hear more this for me is the art of a great writer.

Bought this for my Mum, she loves it.
by EBM
This was a gift for my mother, who had had a nasty fall which had caused her face to swell which stopped her reading, given that reading is her main relaxation, she was lost so I bought her these audio books which she had never tried before and she absolutely loved them, she loved the stories so much that I said I would buy her some more in future to help her when she struggles to sleep at night.
