Queenie audiobook by Jacqueline Wilson and read by Finty Williams


This is a review for the audio version of this book.

You get the complete and unabridged book spanning 9 hours 40 minutes and eight CDs. Not bad at all.

I play this for my 6-year-old daughter at nights. Her summary:

Queenie is the cat, Elsie is the girl. Elsie lived with her nan. Her nan got ill though. Elsie gets ill too, with TB in her knee. She kept scratching her leg. She goes to a children's ward and does get to see her grandma again, and to walk again.

Elsie didn't have a dad and her mum met Mr. Perkins, who never had germs on his hands, because he always washed them.

In addition to her comments I did overhear a reference to Diana Dors which is dated for the children of today although the story is set in 1953 so probably ok.

(I got this audiobook through Amazon Vine UK. It is available HERE.)
