Product Description
A must-have treasury with original essays, personal photos, and much more

For the millions of fans who love the Mitford Years series, this lushly illustrated keepsake will be the perfect book to curl up with. What was that Uncle Billy joke about the census taker? Where was that beautiful prayer Father Tim offered? The Mitford Bedside Companion will make it easy to find the greatest of the countless gems that grace each of Karon’s novels. Fans will relish favorite scenes, casts of characters, a Mitford crossword puzzle, and a bevy of original essays by Karon on everything from the life of a writer to her grandmother’s secret to good health. With a color insert of family photos and Karon’s early Mitford drawings, as well as new illustrations, this is a beautifully packaged volume everyone will cherish.

About the Author
Jan Karon is the author of the bestselling series of Mitford novels.
Brenda Furman is Jan’s younger sister and the perfect person to shape a volume that contains the very cream of nine bestselling novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A visit with loved friends. . ., November 10, 2006
This is a kind of omnibus volume of all the "best parts" of the series, which I've enjoyed as it developed. I can see its pleasure for someone who might lack the stamina to reread the entire series--a shut-in, perhaps. Also, its portability is nice for those of us who read while waiting. Really, it is as refreshing as a visit to familiar country--just the nicest kind of reunion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing, comfortable treasure, May 3, 2007
By ginnyh (Arkansas Ozarks) - See all my reviews
I wasn't totally sure I needed this book to add to the rest of my Mitford books, but I'm glad I took the chance. I'm enjoying favorite parts of the series again, along with the author's rememberances. The book has Jan Karon's notes about how Mitford came to be. The perfect book to read while waiting in the doctor's office or maybe stuck in traffic. It's bound to make you smile and not let your blood pressure rise!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mitford Bedside Companion, January 22, 2007
Excellent summary for a "quick dose" of Mitford without the commitment of an entire book!

I knew beforehand that there was nothing "new" in this book, so I shouldn't have been a bit disappointed. Maybe I'll like better to revisit Mitford after more time has passed.
