Hello everyone, I have an elderly (80+) mother who cannot read or watch TV any longer. But she has developed an interest in listening to audio books. Her most recent interest has been the "The Cat Who..." series and is quickly going through them all. I suspect she likes them, in part, because they are not very demanding - just simple pleasant stories. She also likes heavier fiction such as "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" but, not having read this book, I'm not sure why she liked it. She just said there was something captivating about how it was written and read. The book that started her listening was "The Great Train Robbery". And she also liked the Miss Marple mysteries. I was surprised that she also like Sherlock Holmes - it sounded more like a play to her with different characters interacting rather than a story presented from one persons perspective. She no longer likes heavy romances or gory crime stories. I was hoping someone could suggest some other stories similar to the Cat Who and Miss Marple series. Or even more substantial fiction as long as it is pleasant and not very complicated. Thank you.
