Pomona's Travels
Frank R. Stockton
Read by Sibella Denton
Pomona and Jone of Rudder Grange fame travel to England and Scotland. Along the way, Pomona tangles with wild pigs, haymaking, hotels great and small, Pullman cars, comparison-makers, and a Duchess. She makes two matches and - in her usual, unorthodox way - stag hunts and attends a knighting. Pomona is as hilarious as ever, if a bit more rounded off on the edges. (4 hr 51 min)

Reviews
avid listener
If you love to hear about other countries through well laid out travel plans with a hilarious "American" tour guide this book is for you! The main character is in full force but other characters just come and go as needed in the story. It is an easy read with a lot of unlying wit and quirky humor. Well worth listening to, especially, with such a good reader.
Excellent & quite funny

Not only funny, but REALLY off the wall. Rated higher than 5, & the reader's just the same.
