Nothing can be kept secret for long in Thrush Green...

For many years, Dorothy Watson and Agnes Fogerty have taught in the school at Thrush Green, so their imminent retirement provokes rumour and speculation. Who will take Miss Watson's place as head teacher? As for replacing little Miss Fogerty, it seems impossible to imagine.

There are other issues too. Will Winnie Bailey's eccentric nephew move into the schoolhouse? Who is the strange young man lurking outside The Fuchsia Bush? And what will become of Miss Fogerty's stray cat?

The changing seasons reflect the changing face of Thrush Green as old and new friends learn to live happily together.

Industry Reviews

'An affectionate, humorous and gently charming chronicle ... sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always appealing' [New York Times] 'Her books avoid sentimentality and have an asperity like the tartness of a good apple' [Sunday Telegraph Magazine] 'Miss Read so understands and loves the country and can write to tenderly and humorously about the minutiae of village life without distortion or sentimentality' [Times Literary Supplement]
