Publisher's Summary
Paula Brackston, New York Times best-selling author of The Witch's Daughter, returns with her trademark blend of magic and romance guaranteed to enchant in the first audiobook in a new series.
An antique shop haunted by a ghost. A silver treasure with an injustice in its story. An adventure to the past she’ll never forget.
Xanthe and her mother, Flora, leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine, she has to know more.
It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the 17th century, where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails.
While Xanthe fights to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may be the person who can help her succeed. He may also be the reason she can’t bring herself to leave.

A book to enjoy
Thoroughly enjoyable. A book which you can get lost in. Great narrator. I will look for more books from this author and narrator.

Riveting & Fanciful
The masterful narration by Marisa Calin plunges us into this fanciful story of Xanthe’s mission to clear the name of a girl wrongfully imprisoned for theft in the early 16th century.
The time travel elements are key to the story but not as convincingly realised as in the Outlander series. Some of the plot twists and encounters are implausible. But we’re carried along by the charming characters and brilliant narration.

Brilliant in every moment of time.
I loved it all; backwards, forwards, and in and out of time.
It made me laugh, smile and fall in love with all the characters. The history was well portrayed in all its hard and greusome ways and the comparisons of declarations of love were truly beautiful.

Delightful listen
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to “The Little Shop if Found Things”. It had everything I enjoy in a book - bit of magic, history and a romance.
Xanthe is the main character and she and her mother recently bought an antiques shop. Xanthe finds a Chatelaine that sets her off on her adventure to another time.
Definitely recommend reading this book and I’m looking forward to the sequel!

4 Star Story
Story was ok, I felt that there were a few plot holes and the story wrapped up too quickly, Xanthe’s time in jail could’ve done with being developed more. Learning about a Chatelaine was fascinating though.

Didn't really live up to it's promise
I just found this repetitive and predictable. Had the promise of Outlander but just didn't deliver.
