Anyone else still reading Miss Read, Fairacre and Thrush Green?

I came across this lovely little video about Miss Read, Fairacre and Thrush Green, an interview with her daughter. I loved these books when I was young, but haven't read them for years. I wonder if the libraries still stock them.

Have a look at your local library's online catalogue?

I re-read Village School a while ago, for the first time in years. I'd forgotten what a lovely book it is.

I read them all when I was younger. Decided a couple of years ago I'd like to read them again. I had a good haul from a charity shop so am still working through those, I find them a bit much if you read them back to back. They haven't aged particularly well but still a nice cosy, easy read.

I read them a while ago - the meeting in the village all where everyone sits in silence (except the committee) -then burst into complaint and criticism as soon as they walk out.
The paraffin heater in the village hall wafting black smuts all over their coats.
I was born in 1954 went to small country school -brought back so many memories
