Summary

There was a new family in Browning Street, Walworth - the Harrisons. Respectable and well-behaved, the only thing unusual about them was that Mr Harrison was never there. He was a sailor, said Ma Harrison, away fighting pirates in the China Seas. Actually, 'Knocker' Harrison was in Marsham Gaol - he had unfortunately burgled a lady's suite when she happened to be there. Pa wasn't really a very good burglar.

When young Nick Harrison, eldest son and heir of Ma and Knocker, met Annabelle Somers, he found himself in a very difficult situation. For 17-year-old Annabelle was a peach of a girl, was related to the highly respectable Adams family and was really quite keen on Nick, very interested in him and in his family. What with keeping Annabelle at arm's length in case she found out about Pa, and with the problems of running the Browning Street Rovers football team (the ball was owned by Chrissie Evans who laid down her own rules about the team), Nick sometimes wondered if his life would ever be sorted out.

Loved the new characters!

Another fabulous read. Laughed out loud. Didn't want story to end. Very endearing. Can't wait to read another by this amazing author and listen to the wonderful narrating.

Comical Characters & storylines

Book 8 of Series starting in 1906.Now set in 1930’s. Family Life, ups & downs & mischief they get up to. Would make a great TV series. Witty dialogue and very well read with distinct voices for each character. Got me through many difficult times before and after major surgery.

Dreadful

As always, the narration is spot on….but the story is unbelievably lame! Really disappointing!

An interesting swap from original Adams fam

Enjoyable listen and lovely connection to the original Adams family. Love the return of dad at the end and effort he went to, to keep gossips at bay!

A good book but

Did miss the Adam’s Family. Nonetheless this was a funny and entertaining book but no real story. I find the authors obsession with bosoms and smacking bottoms rather strange. Excellent narration as always

Lovely listening book

I'm really enjoying all of these series by Mary Jane Staples & I'm very glad that audio is keeping to the same narrator Annie Albrighton she has just the right voice.
I look forward to listening to more of the Adams families saga.
