5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book from Miss Read
It's hard for me to be completely objective about this book since I am a tremendous fan of Miss Read's books and enjoy every "trip" I make to Fair Acre and environs!

This one is actually a series of stories concerning disparate characters from the past and present who live in the Fair Acre area. Each is woven beautifully into the narrative with rare skill and...

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Kindle edition; great book
A wonderful "Miss Read" book is ruined by being riddled with page after page of typos in this slipshod Kindle version. How do you print "die" instead of "the" for three pages running?

This review is from: Over the Gate (Kindle Edition)
A wonderful "Miss Read" book is ruined by being riddled with page after page of typos in this slipshod Kindle version. How do you print "die" instead of "the" for three pages running? One of these Miss Read volumes even had (more comically), "boob" for "book" and "fart" for "fact". There are even typos that a basic spell check would have caught. Very sad indeed. On a brighter note, Amazon did take this back and refund my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good read., November 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
