Produktbeschreibung

"If you've ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, you'll relish a visit to Fairacre." -Jan Karon Miss Read once again transports readers to the picturesque English village of Fairacre with her Village Diary. Having received a beautiful diary for Christmas, she proceeds to set down a year's worth of observations and experiences as the village school's headmistress. And what a year it is! As the villagers prepare for their country pageant, Fairacre welcomes many newcomers, such as the headstrong Amy; the earnest new infants' teacher, Miss Jackson; and Mr. Mawne-whom the villagers would like to see the reluctant Miss Read marry . . . "Miss Read's Books . . . have deservedly received the highest praise from both English and American reviewers." -The New York Times Book Review "Miss Read reminds us of what is really important. And if we can't live in her world, it's certainly a comforting place to visit." -USA Today

Autorenporträt

Miss Read (1913-2012) was 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.
