Listen to Patty's many adventures - suitable for all listeners, aged six to ninety!
"But CSA, the independent producer, still comes up with the occasional surprise. The Nicest Girl in the School is a gem. This 1909 book by Angela Brazil was the prototype for a century’s worth of schoolgirl novels. Patty Hirst, a “healthy” 13-year-old, finds out just how horrible her sex can be when she arrives at Morton Priory, but she proves to be an “absolute trump” through scrapes, including the obligatory dramatic coastal rescue. Reader Harriet Walter has fun putting the jolly into hockey sticks." Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times "Harriet Walter's narration transports the listener back in time quite brilliantly." Rachel redford, The Oldie.
