Reviews
"The latest Thrush Green novel by the prolific, pseudonymous 'Miss Read' will undoubtedly satisfy those who enjoy simple and undemanding narratives…Miss Read's worldwide popularity in translation is understandable in view of the clarity of her prose. Beneath the deceptive simplicity, however, there is arch humor and perceptive character analysis."
Publishers Weekly
"The more turbulent the real world, the more charming we may find the stability of Miss Read's tiny fictional world."
