Summary
In Village Diary, Miss Read describes the people of Fairacre with the same exactitude, sense of comedy, and sharp observation. In addition to those characters familiar to readers of Village School, there are newcomers, including dictatorial Amy, an old college friend; Mr Mawne, whom the village sees as a possible husband for the unwilling Miss Read; and the earnest new infants teacher. Overshadowing everything is the mammoth country pageant, in which Fairacre is so sharply and painfully divided.

Yet again
I have read the "Miss Read" books over the years since I first discovered them in the late 60's. They are of a time gone now, and they are as I remember my childhood. They are gentle stories of simpler times. I treasure them as simple nostalgia. They are special.

Nostalgic
Another marvellous Miss Read book! I so enjoy remembering school, maybe not quite like the schools in the book because my Primary school days were in the 1950’s. Never the less they jog the memory to what wasn’t that far removed by then. And the descriptions of the countryside and life in those times is so nostalgic and haunting.

Just lovely, cosy and gentle
I thoroughly enjoyed this second book in the Fairacre series and can’t wait to start the next. At a time in my life where I just want something gentle yet engaging this fits the bill perfectly. It’s all about simpler times gone by. There are some fantastically meaningful bits in it though.
