This was my favorite of the Fairacre series although I loved the entire series and couldn't put any of them down once I started.
A very good read.

Miss Read has been a favorite for many years, very comforting reading, love for Fairacre pupils and parents is very evident. To read of the "ole time", and yet not that ole when life was simpler is refreshing. Yvonne
