Miss Read evokes a world that doesn't exist anymore (and probably never did) which feels gentler and less pressured than the the present day. These two stories were beautifully read and enjoyable. It is the perfect feel good book.

A lovely gentle book

I was introduced to the Miss Read books about 15 years ago when going through a testing time. It’s no exaggeration to say they helped me through some testing days. Knowing I had one of the wonderful books to curl up in bed later made the days that bit easier to take on. What a delight to find this one on Audible , it’s the perfect seasonal listen and so beautifully read. I listened during the day and then dig out my copy to read again in the evening. Can’t recommend enough, they are a gentle and evocative reminder of simpler times long past now but still accessible to us via the spoken and written word.

I absolutely love the characters, descriptions and window in to the lives of the folk of Fairacre, Caxley and beyond, as they prepare for their Christmas…just gorgeous!

Charming, but practical view of by-gone days..
