Try to read a paper copy as the ebook is full of errors! ( ) Village Diary by Miss Read is the second book in her Fairacre series. Fictionally written by the village school mistress, this volume follows a monthly schedule as Miss Read writes in her diary an account of village and school life. Opening in January and closing in December, we are treated to sketches of various residents, descriptions of nature and gardens, general village affairs and day to day life at the two room schoolhouse. Set in a beautiful rural location, these books are timeless and charming. I am slowly working my way through the Fairacre series and I seize these books whenever I feel the need for a comfort read as these books never fail to transport me to a kinder, gentler world. In this second in the series, the focus widens out from the schoolchildren to the rest of the village. The narrator's rosy coloured spectacles do get a bit irritating at times but as an elegy for what was then a vanishing way of life and now has probably completely gone these gentle books are very soothing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The enchanting follow-up to Village School, Miss Read's beloved first novel, Village Diary once again transports us to the picturesque English village of Fairacre. Each chapter describes a month in the life of the village school's headmistress, Miss Read. As the villagers prepare for their country pageant, Fairacre welcomes many newcomers, such as the headstrong Amy, Mr. Mawne (whom the villagers would like to see the reluctant Miss Read marry), and the earnest new infants' teacher, Miss Jackson.
