Book description
The first novel in the bestselling Thrush Green series. It's the May
Day holiday, and a fair has come to the village of Thrush Green. The
residents of Thrush Green all have their own views about the fair. For
young Paul, just recovered from an illness, it is a joy to be allowed
out to play at the fair; for Ruth, who returned to the soothing
tranquillity of Thrush Green nursing a broken heart, the fair is a
welcome distraction from her own problems. And for Dr Lovell, the fair
brings an unexpected new patient. Then there is Mrs Curdle, the
long-standing matriarch of the fair. For her, this year's visit to
Thrush Green awakens mixed feelings, and a difficulty she doesn't want
to face... Full of Miss Read's inimitable charm and humour, THRUSH GREEN
is a wonderful introduction to this bestselling series.
