Another absolute gem
I have listened to all of Miss Read’s Fairacre books and all of them a wonderful glimpse into a slower pace of country life. I cannot wait to move on to the Thrush Green series, but will always have these old friends to return to. Perfect Sunday afternoon listening. Thank you Miss Read.

Miss Read's Comforting Stories.
I am never able to explain the enjoyment and comfort I get from Miss Read's books. And ultimately, it does not matter. What matters is that I do enjoy them. Gentle, dreamy escapism.

The loveliest final book in the series
This book rounds off the Fairacre series beautifully. Sian Phillips narration is perfect for the book. I wish there could’ve been a dozen more. Excellent

A lovely end to a fabulous series
I was so incredibly pleased Miss Read kept spurning her admirers and was happy alone! So often in novels the woman is desperate for a man and feels like she can’t cope without one.
Sian was an excellent narrator. I hope she has done some of the Thrush Green books!

SUBLIME
My absolute favourite of MISS READ. Am currently living out the same story and I am getting strength from listening to the ups and downs of real life.

A very peaceful read
Thoroughly enjoyed this restful and relaxing book. Sian Phillips has the kind of voice that I could listen to for hours. Indeed, I have.
