OVER THE GATE

by Miss Read ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 12, 1965

Fairacre is one of the few completely conceived places in current fiction. This is ""Miss Read's"" tenth book set in the small English village and told in the voice of the village schoolmistress. Like the other titles in this satisfying series, the book is made up of a batch of stories centered around the characters who are now familiar from the previous books. There are those buyers who feel that all the good books about the good qualities have stopped being written. They can safely be directed to ""Miss Read."" They may even glimpse ""that page beneath the page"" her stories usually offer. The comfortable pace of country life and its people are observed without spite in the light of a gentle comic gift.
