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!

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!

The "Companion " is truely what it promised to be : a tresure trove of the Mitfored Books. It is wonderful just to open the companion at any page and enjoy the atmosphare of Mitford instantly . The additional stories and personal pictures of the beloved Author are precious and illuminating !!I am delighted to read it again and dicover more treasures everytime .

It is good to have this book that remembers the Mitford series and also gives you a feel for Jan Karon's life. I keep the book at my bedside and before I go to sleep I read some of the book and feel I am back in Mitford. Such a pleasant feeling before I shut my eyes.

This was a great book to have in the Mitford series. All of the Jan Karon books were wonderful and this was like an extra piece of dessert. It is truly a treasury of the best of the Mitford books.

This book is just the icing on the cake for this series of books. The perfect book to 'take along' for any idle time.

I don't usually evacuate for a hurricane with any books- I have too many to pick favorites, but I will be bringing this one with me! Its a wonderful compilation of bits of the mitford series, including the cookbook! If you loved the Mitford series, you MUST have this book!!

I love it! It is a peaceful & relaxing read. It is kind & humorous.

If you liked the Mitford series you will love this book. Jan Karon and her sister have done a beautiful job.
