Review: If you want to escape your ordinary life for a few hours, Miss Read's books are the ones to escape into. The characters are unusual and have charm. Reading one of Miss Read's book is like sitting in an overstuffed chair by the fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: Delightful story about everyday life in an English village.
Review: In this continuing story of Thrush Green we follow the day to day life of the old friends we have met before in Miss Read's books. After the retirement of Agnes Fogerty and Dorothy Watson the new headmaster Alan Lester and his family move into the school house. But in small villages it's hard to keep secrets and it is soon apparent that Mrs. Lester has a drinking problem. Nellie Piggot is now a partner at the Fushia Bush and must face the responsibility of dealing with the strange ways of Bertha Lovelock as she approches her 80th birthday. Percy Hodge is the subject of much speculation about his love life. This book is a wonderful escape of the stress of modern life as we enjoy old friends Charles and Dimity Henstock, Harold and Isabel Shoosmith, Dotty Harmer and many others in Thrush Green.
