About this listen

Aspiring young naturalist Celeste Rossan is determined to live a life of adventure and scientific discovery. But when her father loses everything, Celeste’s hopes of ever leaving her hometown are dashed…until she sees a narrow opportunity to escape to Paris and attend the 1867 Exposition Universelle.

Celeste seizes her chance, but the elements overwhelm her before she can make it five miles. In desperation, she seeks refuge in an abandoned chateau, only to find herself trapped inside the den of an unknown species: a predator with an intelligence that rivals any human.

It’s the discovery of a lifetime. Or it will be, if Celeste can earn the beast’s trust without losing her nerve - or her heart - to her in the process.

The Misadventures of an Amateur Naturalist is a queer historical fantasy for adventurers of all ages.

Beautifully written in exquisite detail

A wonderful re-imaging of the classic fairytale. Ceinwen describes the French setting beautifully. Definitely not a fast paced story, but fans of this genre will love the slow burn.

Another winner from Langley 🥳

Beautifully described - I was transported straight into the not-too-distant past of France. With plenty of emotion and just a hint of fantasy (and some very cute owls) this was certainly another standout novel.

Eagerly awaiting the next book from this Author!
