DRAMATISATION LISTENED TO (AGAIN) IN 2020
This is one of 5 dramatisations I listened to whilst decorating, and was again really enjoyable. I think this certainly stays at 4 stars.
DRAMATISATION LISTENED TO IN 2019
Firstly let's say it's a shame that this does not have a separate entry as it is not the audiobook of the novel, it is an abridged dramatisation that only roughly follows the novel, but it doesn't, so hey ho.

How I'd love to take afternoon tea at Bertram's Hotel! I'm sure I can't be the only reader that quickly looked up 'seed cake' and found a recipe.
