Farewell to Fairacre

Over the last few years, I have read the story of Miss Read the school teacher. As I read, “Farewell to Fairacre”, I was sad and happy at the same time. Happy for times I was able to enter Miss Read’s world. Sad this series was now coming to a conclusion. Albeit a satisfying end. This book and others of Miss Read, are well penned tales of school, church and friendships (or non friendships ) , set is the little community of Fairacre. The series is the feel of the, “Little House on the Prairie” series, but aimed for adult readers, rather than children.

I loved this book it tied everything and everyone in and the feel that the characters are real never ended.

All of Miss Read's books are a pleasure to read. I have collected all of them. In an uncertain and dangerous world, her books give respite and peace for a time.

This is a wonderful, old-fashioned series. She is no longer writing, but the Fairacre and Thrush Green books are well worth checking out and she was a very prolific writer, so you will have a lot of good reading. If you enjoy Jan Karon or Janette Oke, you will enjoy Miss Read's books.
