Another home besides Mitford!,
By Tonya Speelman "Hoarder of books" (Goldendale WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Village School (Paperback)
I loved this book and do believe I have found another home when Mitford ends! I loved the characters and although simple, I can't wait to devour the next one!
1.0 out of 5 stars
Contains Racist Stereotypes,
By Lady Disdain "ladydisdain" (Ardmore, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Village School (Paperback)
Miss Read's books often contain offensive racist stereotypes and racist language. They definitely don't age well, and while the stories are interesting, I personally couldn't get past the (many) parts that offended me.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Miss Read is a lesson in adaptability,
By MRS. ROBIN K. MITCHELL (NEW YORK, NEW YORK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Village School (Paperback)
So often in our 21st century world, we try to live our lives in absolutes. Perhaps we live with more fatalism than did dear Miss Read, and her flock of children at Fairacre School. The story of a rural school where poverty and want lived in many families, Miss Read helped bring beauty and creativity to her pupils. What struck me about Miss Read is her adaptability in the face of sudden village emergencies; a child or a parent who suddenly became in need of attention; an elderly teacher who needed rest. Miss Read and her contemporaries in the village of Fairacre were able to serve the needs of the community at sacrifice to their own needs. Somehow, there is the unspoken view in Fairacre that everything will work out if we pull together for a little while, and everything does. That's probably why Village School and the entire Fairacre series fit readers just as a warm quilted comforter would; the book is a photograph of what life can be when we help each other. This is a book which, in the gentlest way, illustrates the big picture. Sincerely, Robin
