When the Cotswold villagers of Thrush Green decide to combine the 100th anniversary of a mission school opened by the village's most distinguished son - the Victorian Nathaniel Patten - and the centenary of the village school, the plans are for a very special celebration indeed.

The prolific Miss Read is Mrs. Dora Saint, whose novels draw on her own memories of living and teaching in a small English village. She and her husband, a retired schoolmaster, have one daughter and enjoy a quiet life in Berkshire.
Enter the world of Thrush Green, an English Cotswold village, where not much--and a great deal--happens. Miss Read is justly famous for her wise Thrush Green and Fairacre books, based on her own experiences as a rural English schoolteacher. Gwen Watford's voice is sharper than this reviewer--a longtime Miss Read addict--associates with the gentle stories. Although her reading is clear and well paced, Watford sometimes sounds like the local "lady of the manor" who is not altogether fond of the villagers. It's not a bad reading, just not an affectionate one. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
