5.0 out of 5 stars This is a delightful visit to world you wish you lived in., February 12, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Thrush Green (Thrush Green Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)

As all Miss Read fans know, each of her Thrush Green and Fairacre novels are a visit to a world they wish they could live in. "Thrush Green" is the first of the series that takes the reader into the life and world of the inhabitants of this fictional Cotswold village. The characters are charming, eccentric or curmudgeonly in their turn, but always diverting and entertaining. Miss Read's fictional world is not without trials and tribulations, but like life itself, inevitably goes on its way and all comes out right in the end. Treat yourself to a visit to a place where your cares are behind you and the diversion is a pleasant one

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the world of Thrush Green., July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Thrush Green (Thrush Green Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)

Thrush Green is one of Miss Read's best. I would love to be able to purchase all of her books in a paperback set. Her books are so wonderful you want to savour them again and again. Please reprint them all! With the increased interest with her type of storytelling as we see with Jan Karon's popularity, Miss Read would be cherished as well.

This review is from: Thrush Green (Thrush Green Series, Book 1) (Hardcover)

I found Miss Read through an avid reader friend (PLB) as we were comparing notes about Jan Karon's writing style. She informed me Jan Karon was partially inspired by Miss Read. From the moment I read this book, my first Miss Read, I was hooked! These books (all 20+) need to be put back into print! I wish I could live in this fictional Cotswold village. The characters are charming and entertaining. Treat yourself to a pleasant diversion into another life, another time... of course, along with a cuppa!
