Product Description

Review

"To receive a book by Miss Read in the dead of winter is like coming on a group of purple crocuses in the snow. Or perhaps it's like biting into a tart red apple, because Miss Read is often tart in a gentle sort of way. Her humor is delightful and her quiet style with its simple and innocent content gives proof of the fact that there is still a large audience for the decent book about normanl people." (Chattanooga Times )

"Miss Read is her charming self once more as she spins a delightful tale of ordinary people and ordinary lives in her own extraordinary way. Tuck it under the Christmas tree for someone special." (Publishers Weekly (1976) )

Product Description

Have a happy Christmas in the Cotswolds with a volume of three heartwarming holiday tales from Fairacre. Three beloved Christmas tales -- “No Holly for Miss Quinn,” “Village Christmas,” and “The Christmas Mouse” -- are offered here as one enchanting holiday volume. As frost sparkles on cottage roofs and smoke rises from chimneys, the Cotswold village of Fairacre is a perfect vision of Christmas joy -- but celebrations of the season do not always go as expected. In this collection, the school’s endearing headmistress, Miss Read, recounts some of the most memorable Fairacre Christmases. An unwanted change of plan disrupts the festivities in “No Holly for Miss Quinn”; a dramatic birth kindles goodwill in “Village Christmas”; and a surprise visitor arrives on Christmas Eve in “The Christmas Mouse.” For uplifting reading no one rivals Miss Read, and her Christmas tales brim with good cheer.
