Description

This volume introduces Thrush Green, the neighboring village to Miss Read's Fairacre: its blackthorn bushes, thatch-roofed cottages, enchanting landscape, and jumble sales. A cast of characters is introduced as the village prepares for one pivotal day—May Day. Before the holiday is over, life, love, and perhaps eternity will touch the immemorial peace of the village. In this book, like the others in her two intertwined series, Miss Read's wry chronicles of the neighboring towns of Thrush Green and Fairacre in the Cotswolds district of England take readers to a bygone world of charming eccentrics and stalwart characters. When troubles arise they are handled with a combination of manners, a bit of the stiff upper lip, and the occasional good-natured compromise.
