About this listen

A Frogmorton Farm short story. Catch up with the characters from Jodi Taylor's bestselling novel, The Nothing Girl, as they navigate the complexities of the local nativity play in their own, unique fashion.

It's Christmas and Jenny Checkland is beset with problems.

The Vicar, who really should know better, has asked to borrow Marilyn the donkey for the nativity play thereby unleashing chaos on the already chaos-laden Frogmorton Farm.

Will Marilyn survive her bath? Will anyone survive Marilyn's bath?

Robbed of her role as the Virgin Mary, what revenge is the Angel Gabriel plotting?

Why is that sheep so fat?

Will Charlie ever get to say his one line?

Can Marilyn be prevented from eating the Baby Jesus?

Where is Thomas, who promised he would be there?

And worst of all - will Russell, lost on the moor in a blizzard, make it back in time for the birth of his first child? Or even at all?

I thought I would try a few short stories to listen to on dog walks - this was perfectly lovely! Very enjoyable.

Lovely!

With all of Jodi Taylor's series' I make sure to check the series list to ensure I listen to them in the right order. Something to note: the list (at time of writing) is incorrect. They say book 3 is Joy to the World and book 4 is Little Donkey, so I started with Joy to the World, and Jenny and Russell's firstborn child is a 14-year-old. Then I listened to Little Donkey and Jenny is pregnant with their first child. I knew what gender and what name the child would have because - spoilers - I'd already listened to the mislabeled book 4. If, like me, you prefer to listen in chronological order (difficult to do with Jodi's time-travelling stories!) then bear in mind that Little Donkey is book 3.
