About this audiobook
Arabel Jones and her pet raven, Mortimer, find adventure wherever they go. In this silly sequel to "Arabel's Raven," when they take a cruise, Mortimer floats out to sea on a grand piano. When they go to the zoo, Mortimer tries to get even with three giraffes that stole his doughnuts. Even at home, there's an excitement when the rambunctious raven flies away with a priceless treasure that was buried at their local park--King Arthur's sword! Arabel tries to keep her peculiar pet under control, but sometimes that's just impossible! One thing is for sure: Life is never dull with Mortimer around!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Arabel Jones and her raven companion, Mortimer, return in this second collection of short stories, following the initial title, Arabel's Raven. In Mortimer's Tie, Mortimer's quest to find a diamond eventually wins the Jones family a free cruise. But will Mortimer's penchant for disaster ruin their vacation? In The Spiral Stair, Mortimer finds himself in a feud with two donut-stealing giraffes when he and Arabel visit a zoo. And in Mortimer and the Sword Excalibur, Mortimer is more interested in trying to drive the lawnmower than in seeing the famed sword, with the expected disastrous results.The fun continues in this second collection of stories, illustrated by Quentin Blake, and perfect for the beginning chapter-book reader. As mentioned in my review of Arabel's Raven, these stories are also published individually in the UK.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Arabel and Mortimer's hilarious adventures continue on a cruise ship, at the zoo, and in the park! This collection contains the stories: Mortimer's Tie, The Spiral Stair, and Mortimer and the Sword Excalibur.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I first discovered Joan Aiken's hilarious tales of the young girl Arabel and her pet raven, Mortimer, in the pages of Cricket Magazine. Thanks to the web I have been able to acquire hardcover copies of the books.Arabel and Mortimer is the second book published, but you can easily read them in any order as they are really a bunch of short stories more than a cohesive narrative. This book includes the following three stories:Mortimer's Tie;The Spiral Stair;Mortimer and the Sword Excalibur
