Through the eyes of many Fairacre friends, we trace Mrs. Pringle’s life and her stormy standing as the redoubtable cleaner of the town’s school. However maddening she is, life at Fairacre would be poorer without her.

3.0 out of 5 stars
the least of the series,
By Miss Ivonne (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs. Pringle of Fairacre (Paperback)
I have always been a true fan of the Fairacre novels; I found I enjoyed them even more than Miss Read's beloved Thrush Green novels. "Mrs. Pringle," however, is the literary equivalent of a television clip show: One-half to two-thirds of the material in this book has already appeared in greater detail and written in a more interesting fashion in previous Fairacre novels.It's marginally worth reading for a few of the new tales about Mrs. Pringle, particularly a few about Mrs. Pringle miscreant girlhood. But, if you decide to skip this one, you can pick up in the next book without having missed anything.
