The first novel in the beloved Fairacre series, VILLAGE SCHOOL
introduces the remarkable schoolmistress Miss Read and her lovable
group of children, who, with a mixture of skinned knees and smiles,
are just as likely to lose themselves as their mittens. This is the
English village of Fairacre: a handful of thatch-roofed cottages, a
church, the school, the promise of fair weather, friendly faces,
and good cheer -- at least most of the time. Here everyone knows
everyone else's business, and the villagers like each other anyway
(even Miss Pringle, the irascible, gloomy cleaner of Fairacre
School). With a wise heart and a discerning eye, Miss Read guides
us through one crisp, glistening autumn in her village and
introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters and a world of
drama, romance, and humor, all within a stone's throw of the
school. By the time winter comes, you'll be nestled snugly into the
warmth and wit of Fairacre and won't want to leave.
