Tales from a Village School
by Read
Illegal bartering of gingernuts in a murky corner of the playground, justice firmly being done on three malefactors who stole Mr. Henry's eggs - here, in these forty delightful stories about life as a village schoolteacher, are the dramas of the world of multiplication practice, muddy boots in the cloakroom, and nature walks, set against the changing seasons of the countryside. These stories were first published in The Times Educational Supplement, Punch, and other publications forty years ago, and are now published in book form for the first time, with a new foreword and line drawings by Kate Dicker.
A Place on Earth
by Wendell Berry
In A Place on Earth the central character is not a person but a place: Port William, Kentucky, and the farmlands and forests that surround it, and the Kentucky River that runs nearby. This is a region that Mr. Berry knows intimately, both with heart and mind, a region whose faults and virtues he has spent a lifetime studying. In this novel he reveals the deep marriage between the land and its people; as a key figure in the story, the farmer Mat Feltner, puts it, "The earth is the genius of our life. The final questions and answers lie serenely coupled in it." So the rhythms of the novel are the rhythms of the land. The novel resonates with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace, winter into spring, browning flood destruction into greening fields, absence into presence, lost into found. The style of the writing is exquisitely adapted to this varying subject, ranging from lyrical, reflective passages to ribald and rollicking farce -- but it is unified throughout by Wendell Berry's acute perception and delicate sensibility.
A Peaceful Retirement
by Read
In the heartwarming final chapter of the Fairacre series, Miss Read finds herself as busy as ever despite her retirement, on holiday in Florence, helping with church and school affairs, and discovering her talent for writing.
Village School
by Read
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.
Hotel Pastis
by Peter Mayle
