Miss Read never disappoints.

"Further Afield" is another beautiful and moving tale of Fairacre and its people. Such a treat!

A wonderful listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I do all the Miss Read series of books. So easy to be transported to the gentle world of Fairacre, I feel like I know all of the characters personally. I wish Changes at Fairacre could reach Audible, it’s one of my favourites.

A perfect book

This is a beautifully heart warming book which is so well read. It’s a small picture of a quieter life and time.
