Audio Book Summary

Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad is the second of the ten book series of Aunt Jane's Nieces. The story continues with the three much loved girls - the sweet and generous Patsy, the cunning Louise, and the sullen Beth. This time they're on a tour of Europe with their down-to-earth uncle John Merrick.

The benevolent uncle and his nieces meet mysterious and sinister Victor Valdi, his daughter Tato, and a pretend nobleman, Count Ferralti, who fancies Louise. The story revolves around travel and kidnapping, and the subsequent adventures of the three young girls, told in Baum's own inimitable style that keeps us at the edge of our seats. (Summary by Neeru Iyer)

    What started off with plodding detail, finally got interesting when the entourage arrived in Europe just in time to see Vesuvius erupt. Though Uncle John is a lovely character, I cringed at his American attitude to inconvenience and ways of life that were different. When they left the area of Vesuvius, they settled to sightseeing. The travelogue to follow was a bit disheartening to think that the rest may be so also. But there was a very swift change when they decided to go to Sicily. All the naivety of the group, such as wandering the hills alone, is exposed and they have to discover what to do after one of the group is kidnapped. They meet up with their friends from the summer at Aunt Jane’s. Together they try to find a solution. The story is quite intriguing as one follows their actions in dealing with brigands, learning more than one lesson before the end. The readers are okay. However, at times there is a big difference in the volume of the recordings, which means adjusting the sound fairly frequently.
