Ready to tour the castles!

This book is a nice change of pace for me. Wanting to visit England, it has given me a good sense of the history of the castles and their history. I enjoyed learning the family secrets of King Henry VIII, but my favorite was of Lady Diana, always love hearing about her history. The information regarding possible hauntings always catches my interest as well, would love to do a ghost tour if available! I think this book also has an added fantastic touch by starting with the castle from Downtown Abbey, it gives you something to relate to right off.

The regal voice of Melanie Fraser gives this book the perfect narration. She makes the book alive and gives the book the touch of class it deserves.

Interesting

This book is told in short story type form about some of the manor houses in England. I guess one of the more famous would be where Downton Abbey was filmed. The author did a nice job in giving just enough information to make it interesting, but not a lot of boring details to make the story drag. The narrator had an excellent voice for the story.
I don't think I'd pay a full credit for this, but it's worth it if you can get it at a bit lower price.

Wonderful History of Manors and Castles

SECRETS OF THE MANOR HOUSE is a fabulous audiobook that tells of the most famous manors and castles including the history of each. To name a few are Highclere Castle where Downton Abbey is filmed and where the original owner discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen, Hampton Court Palace linked to Henry Vlll, Althorp Manor connected to the Spencer's and Lady Diana, and Ham House that's said to be the most haunted castle in Britain, and many more. I loved listening to this audiobook.

MELANIE FRASER has the most lovely voice ever. I could listen to her all day. She was the perfect narrator for this audiobook. I felt as if I've traveled around England, Great Britain, Wales and Scotland with the best tour guide on the planet. She has excellent voice inflections and made this an amazing listen.

(I have toured a few castles in Germany and Austria). I love history and this was a great book.

Audiobook gifted in exchange for an honest review.
