After reading A Few Green Leaves by Barbara Pym, I found myself with the sudden urge to read more of the Fairacre series.

We’re back in the world of Fairacre! I really enjoyed my first Wodehouse and it’s gentle British humour reminded me of another cosy read – the Fairacre series.

I’m finally back in the Fairacre series, and as usual, I wonder what kept me away for so long (probably the fact that this series is only found at the regional library branches).

As Christmas approaches, I find that I want to read something cosy, like the Fairacre series by Miss Read.
