Village Centenary — Miss Read

The great centenary year unfolds -- with its hopes and fears, its memories and forecasts, its friendships and feuds.

The village school is a hundred years old and Miss Read, the schoolmistress, is fully occupied trying to recapture the march of those full and busy years under its roof.

But that's not all Miss Read -- and Fairacre -- have to think about. There's Caxley Spring Festival and the vicar's bees . . . there's house-hunting and holidays. . .

The future stretches invitingly ahead for the whole community.
