What a treat of of a read!

I’ve been on a binge of reading older books recently. I find them witty, charming and, most of all, well-written. I had read a couple of books by D.E. Stevenson when I was a teenager. Even then, they were out of print and available only at my small, local library.

I had not read this book, but picked it up to try. I was complete hooked, right from the start. That is actually a bit of the plot as well.

Miss Buncle writes a book based on her small village, complete with characters that are almost exactly like the individuals who people it. People who read the book, get hooked on it whether they love it or hate it.
