This review is from: The Year at Thrush Green (Thrush Green Series #12) (Paperback)
Truly there is no one quite like Miss Read. Many years ago our town librarian introduced me to her books. I have been an enchanted reader every since. Of all the authors one chooses to re-visit on a regular basis, Miss Read is at the top of the list. Her characters become friends and her gentle stories always delight. If you haven't yet met the people of Fairacre and Thrush Green, you have a treat in store for you.
