About this listen
Of especially naughty children, it is sometimes said: “They must have been raised by wolves.” The Incorrigible children actually were. Discovered in the forests of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips; Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite; and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.
Luckily, Miss Penelope Lumley is no ordinary governess. Only fifteen years old and a graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, Penelope embraces the challenge of her new position. Though she is eager to instruct the children in Latin verbs and the proper use of globes, first she must eliminate their canine tendencies.But mysteries abound at Ashton Place: Who are these three wild creatures? Why does Old Timothy, the coachman, lurk around every corner? Will Penelope be able to civilize the Incorrigibles in time for Lady Constance’s holiday ball? And what on earth is a schottische?
Penelope is no stranger to mystery, as her own origins are also cloaked in secrecy. But as Agatha Swanburne herself once said, “Things may happen for a reason, but that doesn’t mean we know what the reason is—at least, not yet.

Captivating for all ages
Where does The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one of the best audiobooks for children we have heard. The story appealed to everyone, from parents to 5 year old.
What did you like best about this story?
The story is so entertaining to listen to, with the wolfish sounds from the children, the proper accent of the narrator, and the mysteries that unfold slowly in the background. Older listeners will want to find out who and why and when! Younger listeners will be captivated by the sounds of the children and the wildness to the story.
What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?
Her beautiful accent and pronounciation.
