Summary

A weight-losing recipe sends a portly Victorian housemaid literally sky-high. Mrs Next-Door, the queen of copycats, drives her patient neighbour mad with rage; the tragic tale of the ghost of Fairacre; the touch-and-go romance of Elsie Parker.

In Over the Gate, Miss Read, the village schoolmistress, continues to remember odd incidents and excellent stories and to retell them with characteristic grace and compassion.

Once again a beautiful journey through the eyes of the residents of fairacre … nice easy listening especially on a Sunday afternoon. Brings a kind of peacefulness to the soul.

The usual from Fairacre with the particular notion of looking back at some old wives tales from the community. Fine, but for me this was a bit of a miss when compared to the other stories from Fairacre. Certainly this would not be one of the Miss Read stories that I would be recommending. so many other great ones to choose from, this was mediocre.

good but not the best of the series
