'Aunt Crete's Emancipation' follows Miss Lucretia Ward or 'Crete' to her family, as she navigates life with her rude sister Carrie and her spoilt niece Luella. They treat the older Crete like a maid more than a family member but everything will change when cousin Donald Grant visits from out west. Carrie and Luella shun the 'backwoods' cousin but Crete welcomes him with loving and open arms, changing everyone's lives forever. If you love Cinderella this story is perfect for you, it is a loving and relaxed read, full of brilliant characters and description, where goodness is satisfyingly rewarded and evil punished.-

      Narrator Anne Hancock is particularly skilled at bringing to life the speech patterns and vocabulary of 1911. She deftly presents polar opposite characters: sweet, humble Lucretia "Crete" Ward and her young, bossy niece, Luella Burton. Impoverished Aunt Crete is forced to live with the Burtons as a Cinderella-like servant. When the family learns that cousin Donald Grant will visit, they hastily depart to avoid him, leaving Aunt Crete to make their apologies. Hancock makes clear Grant's shrewd awareness of their rudeness, which contrasts with his warm regard for the welcoming Aunt Crete. Listeners will be amused to hear shallow Luella's opinion change when she realizes that Grant is wealthy and saddened to hear firsthand of the strong class distinctions prevalent in the early twentieth century.
