THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919

Book 4 of 6 The Great Forest Rescue

The summary of this fourth book in the series is as follows:

While exploring Ashdown Forest in the summer of 1919, the six Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—discover an injured fox caught in a poacher's trap. Working together, they carefully free the animal (named Rusty) and nurse it back to health with guidance from Mr. Hawthorne, a war veteran turned naturalist. Through mishaps and teamwork—Agatha's first aid skills, Minnie's animal knowledge, Bernadette's gentle care—they rehabilitate Rusty and release him into the wild.

Their compassion leads to a new mission: joining Mr. Hawthorne's forest preservation project. Each girl contributes her unique talents—Lulu's leadership, Beryl's keen observation, Lottie's humor—to protect the forest's wildlife. As autumn arrives, occasional sightings of a russet fox remind them of their first rescue and the greater adventure ahead: safeguarding Ashdown Forest's magic for all its creatures.

The initial opening credit music, "Joyful Journey", which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, "Bloom", ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel.

The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!

I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come
