Near fine condition.Michael Joseph,1991.First UK edition-first impression.Blue hardback(gilt lettering to the spine,small dent/nick on the edge of the spine) with Dj(small nicks and crease on the edges of the Dj cover),both in near fine condition.Illustrated inside the front and back cover,b/w drawings.Illustrations by John S. Goodall.Nice and clean pages with two pencil marks impressions on the edge of the front endpaper,small nick and crease on the edges of the pages.Nice and clean book.251pp.Price un-clipped.First edition-first printing. This is another paragraph From Publishers Weekly: In the 35th novel to be set in the tiny British villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre, the characters and settings are as familiar and comfortable as old shoes. The pseudonymous Read has created an orderly universe in which people are kind and conscientious and cherish virtues and manners now considered antiquated elsewhere. But unwelcome changes are making themselves felt in the villages. Miss Read inherits Dolly Clare's little cottage at Thrush Green, her grief at the death of her old friend and mentor somewhat assuaged by the security of home ownership; the declining enrollment at Fairacre School, where Miss Read teaches, may lead to its closing. Improved highways, higher salaries and the ubiquity of the automobile have enabled many Fairacre inhabitants to shop in distant cities and educate their children at larger schools miles away. Bucolic life has given way to those of the busy, two-income commuter families who have scarcely enough time to plant a few flowers in their gardens. The novel's slight plot sometimes gets in the way of Read's wonderful descriptive abilities, but her characters, as always, fairly leap off the pages; the cantankerous, Cassandra-like Mrs. Pringle; her feekless daughter, Minnie; the crusty old factotum, Mr. Willet; and the young Joseph Coggs-are all completely believable. Read writes with deep affection about what she knows and never succumbs to the temptation of clich6s. An occasional visit to Fairacre offers a restful change from the frenetic pace of the contemporary world.
