Su questo libro

L'autore:

Miss Read is the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre. The first of these, Village School, was published in 1955, and Miss Read continued to write until her retirement in 1996. In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature. She lives in Berkshire.

Product Description:

For nearly half a century, Miss Read has lovingly chronicled smalltown life and its momentous events -- births, deaths, marriages, how the new church roof will be paid for, who will care for a child when his mother takes ill, who will fall in love, who will leave town, who will make a welcome return. Miss Read's enchanting Fairacre novels transport readers to a kinder, gentler world: a handful of thatch-roofed cottages, a church, the school, the promise of fair weather, friendly faces, and good cheer -- at least most of the time. While Fairacre's new commuter lifestyle causes a sharp decline in enrollment at her school, Miss Read focuses her attention on the ill health of her old friend Dolly Clare.
