I am working my way through all Miss Read’s books, having discovered them by accident it’s now all I want to read! I am very sad to be nearing the end of the beautiful, heartening, entertaining Thrush Green series,

This book was much better than the last one. I completely loved listening to this one, a fairly gentle meander through a year in the life of the residents.

I do find it amusing that there are minor continuity errors throughout the Village School and Thrush Green series, it makes me smile to realise them - I could forgive Miss Read nearly anything. For example, Jenny and Nelly lose a couple of decades off their ages! At one time Jenny is ten years younger than Winnie and then suddenly she’s in her 40s, and Nelly and Albert went to school together but then he’s been drawing his pension for years and she’s much younger.

The narrator was very good, with her timing and the emotion she put into the story.

Utterly beautiful
