Book description
The third novel in the bestselling Fairacre series. On a blustery March
day in the village of Fairacre, Miss Clare sees two strangers, 'pacing
slowly, side by side, along the edge of Hundred Acre Field which lay on
the other side of Miss Clare's garden hedge...' So begins a story which
brings all the villagers of Fairacre together, as they face the prospect
of developers who hope to build new houses on the fields adjoining old
Mr Miller's farm. Everyone has an opinion - but not everyone is in
agreement about the development. Under the watchful gaze of Miss Read,
the school teacher, we meet old characters and new, from retired teacher
Miss Clare and the surly Mrs Pringle, to the new assistant teacher, Miss
Jackson - who brings with her problems of her own...
