Book Description

October 24, 2006
A must-have companion to the bestselling series

Jan Karon’s Mitford Years series is a publishing phenomenon that, since 1996, has sold more than twenty-five million books and attracted millions of devoted readers around the world. With the series now complete, Karon’s fans have raced through nine novels—and then sat down and read them again and again. For all those who love returning to Mitford, this gorgeously packaged companion will be the perfect book to curl up with. What was that Uncle Billy joke about the census taker? Where was that beautiful prayer Father Tim offered? The Mitford Bedside Companion will make it easy to find the greatest of the countless gems that grace each of Karon’s novels.

Featuring favorite scenes, casts of characters, Mitford crossword puzzles, plus a hilarious read- aloud scene and lots of trivia questions for fan gatherings and family get-togethers, and much, much more, The Mitford Bedside Companion is an enchanting collection. Here, too, are new essays from Karon on everything from the life of a writer to her grandmother’s secret to good health. Beautifully packaged and filled with eye-catching art, The Mitford Bedside Companion is a book that any fan will cherish, relishing favorite scenes from each book and, in one volume, fondly reliving the best times spent in the little town with the big heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A visit with loved friends. . ., November 10, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a kind of omnibus volume of all the "best parts" of the series, which I've enjoyed as it developed. I can see its pleasure for someone who might lack the stamina to reread the entire series--a shut-in, perhaps. Also, its portability is nice for those of us who read while waiting. Really, it is as refreshing as a visit to familiar country--just the nicest kind of reunion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing, comfortable treasure, May 3, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I wasn't totally sure I needed this book to add to the rest of my Mitford books, but I'm glad I took the chance. I'm enjoying favorite parts of the series again, along with the author's rememberances. The book has Jan Karon's notes about how Mitford came to be. The perfect book to read while waiting in the doctor's office or maybe stuck in traffic. It's bound to make you smile and not let your blood pressure rise!

Excellent summary for a "quick dose" of Mitford without the commitment of an entire book!
