About the Author
Miss Read is the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre. The first of these, Village School, was published in 1955, and Miss Read continued to write until her retirement in 1996. In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature. She lives in Berkshire.
From AudioFile
The chronicles of village life in rural England, filled with truisms and seasonal detail, soothe the listener and recall a quieter, and kinder, time and place. June Barrie has narrated many of these charming books and here pays tribute to the older women of the village with the kindness that the author feels for each one. Her voice is perfect for the gentleness of the narrative. Barrie is as competent with the speaking males as she is with every other aspect of Thrush Green. These books are generous in their understanding of the world and the foibles of mankind. Nothing earth-shattering happens, but everything carries the drama and wisdom of lives led in close society. The listener is transported to Thrush Green. B.H.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

10 STAR BOOK; PLEASE PLEASE REPUBLISH MISS READ'S BOOKS!,
By Ruth A. Caldwell "Highland Princess Mum" (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Winter in Thrush Green (Thrush Green, Book 2) (Hardcover)
If you want nostalgia, and something to give you happy thoughts as you go to bed, then read Miss Read's stories of Thrush Green, the characters are charming. I couldn't put this book down as I became so involved with the villagers goings on, I needed to find out more about their lives. Reading the Thrush Green stories is like having a soothing "cuppa" close by !

This review is from: Winter In Thrush Green (Kindle Edition)
I have always enjoyed every book by Miss Read. Her series of Thrush Green books, and her Fairacre series are always gently entertaining. Its like coming home to good friends. No sex, very little violence (the odd knock on the head), just lots of every day happenings in a village you'd love to live in, with neighbors you'd always want to have. These are the kinds of books you need to read before sleeping. Guaranteed to bring on good dreams!
Soothing gentle reads, with characters you know and love.
