The Year at Thrush Green by Miss Read
I loved all the descriptions of the weather and changing seasons, especially in the beginning of the book with the January weather. It was wonderful to watch the characters grow and develop. This is a very enjoyable series. If you like a mellow but entertaining read, give these a try! Miss Read never fails to impress. Her descriptions of the english countryside is detailed and evocative, and her villages peopled with realistic and humourous characters. Just love Miss Read. I love these characters. Each book just gets better and better.
I have every book in the series.
I only wish there were more. Truly there is no one quite like Miss Read. Many years ago our town librarian introduced me to her books. I have been an enchanted reader every since. Of all the authors one chooses to re-visit on a regular basis, Miss Read is at the top of the list. Her characters become friends and her gentle stories always delight. If you haven't yet met the people of Fairacre and Thrush Green, you have a treat in store for you. Miss Read's books are simple but so engaging that I can't put them down.
