About this book
Cricket at the Seashore by Elizabeth Weston Timlow whisks listeners to a sunlit Victorian-era New England summer where Cricket and her friends turn ordinary days into seaside adventures. Timlow’s gentle, humorous voice follows a spirited heroine through picnics, boating mishaps, secret clubs, and tender moments of loyalty and courage along the shore.
This coming-of-age teen/young adult fiction weaves together episodes of friendship, resourcefulness, and small-scale heroism—landing parties on Bear Island, heartfelt sacrifices, and the everyday chores that bind a coastal community. Steeped in late-19th-century sensibilities, the story captures the rhythms of seaside life: tides, tides of emotion, and the social rituals of a bygone era. The narrative preserves the charm of classic children’s literature while offering universal themes of growing up, empathy, and imagination.
Perfect for listeners who love classic fiction, historical young-adult tales, or sea stories that favor warmth over spectacle, this audiobook is ideal for family listening, nostalgic adults, and young readers discovering older works for the first time. Tune in for a comforting, vividly drawn summer by the sea—a timeless slice of seaside life and youthful adventure.
