    There are new people on the Green . . .

    When old Admiral Trigg and his sister Lucy died, their house - Tullivers -stood empty for many months. Then one bright April day, some discreet onlookers saw a good-looking woman pushing her way through the nettles to the front door.

    Who was she? Was she on her own? Had she bought the house and if so, what kind of a neighbour would she be? These were just some of the questions asked by the curious residents of Thrush Green, a village bubbling with feuds, disasters and delights, all observed by Miss Read with her customary wry wit and charm.

    Miss Read

    Miss Read, or in real life Dora Saint, was born 17 April 1913. A teacher by profession, she started writing after the Second World War for Punch and other journals and as a scriptwriter for the BBC. She is best known for her immensely popular novels of English rural life. The first of these, VILLAGE SCHOOL, was published in 1955 and Miss Read continued to write about the fictitious villages of Fairacre and Thrush Green until her retirement in 1996. She lives in Berkshire and in the 1998 New Year Honours list was awarded an MBE for her services to literature.
