Özet
 Fairacre is a village of cottages, a church and the school, and at the heart of the school, its head mistress, Miss Read. Through her discerning eye, we meet the villagers of Fairacre and see their trials and tribulations, from the irascible school cleaner Mrs. Pringle, to the young school children, with their scraped knees, hopeful faces, and inevitable mischief. Miss Read takes us through the school year, beginning with the Christmas term, when the bitterly cold weather challenges the school's ancient heating system, right through to the hot summer day when school is over for another year.©1955 Miss Read; (P)2006 Orion Publishing Group Ltd Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Kurgu Köy Noel

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Read by Carole Boyd, this is the very first of the Miss Read novels, and takes the listener back to a two-class school in the 1950s where she is head. The minutiae of everyday village life is beautifully observed and related to the listener with wit, gentle understanding, and a nip of irony. Very quickly, Mrs. Pringle, Miss Clare, and all the rest become our neighbours, too." ( Daily Express)

A classic....Carole reads it so well a perfect match for a story that could be in Ambridge....
It harks back to a gentle way of life..just before technology ruined it.. the last days of village life and village school education.

Miss Read books were my mother's favourites, I came to then only recently after a lifetime of murder mysteries and far too horrifically accurate historical reading. I wanted something gentler and found it perfectly here in Miss Read I went to a small school in the late 50's so instantly felt comfortable. Beautifully written, it flows along with nothing to scare me, life yes, but without over dramatising. And the performance was perfect too, she reminded me instantly of my teachers back then. All together a delightful read.

happy reminder of my childhood

Miss Read is my favourite author of all time. For me her books are like a step out of the frenzy of life in to the calm of Thrush Green.
Beautiful simple stories of country folk living a quiet life as the seasons come and go.
Carole Boyd narrates perfectly and has a lovely voice to listen to.

Wonderful escapism

As a fan of the wonderful Miss Read/Dora Saint for many years, it was a pleasure to hear the characters come to life through the vocal interpretations of the very suitable narrator. Though I am too young to remember these particular times, I felt transported back through the vivid descriptions of Fairacre, its surroundings and inhabitants.
For anyone who loves nostalgia, or is a fan of BBC drama productions set in the 40s, 50s and 60s, this is the audio equivalent. Your imagination will take you there as an unseen observer who has been granted access to the lives of the villagers. Enjoy!
