Miss Read books.

Does anyone enjoy the Miss Read books?

I've been reading (and re-reading) them all since about 1993.

I've managed to buy every single one, and they have pride of place on my bookshelves.

I wonder why Miss Read (the character in the Fairacre series, not the author) never revealed her Christian name?

Even when conversing with Amy, her name was never used.

And when John Jenkins was repeatedly proposing marriage to her, he never once said her name 🤔

Oooh yes! Love Miss Read. My Mum knew her - she was friendly with the headmistress in the school where my Mum worked and lived locally.
