Fresh from the Country (Paperback)

Miss Read, whose real name is Dora Jessie Saint, has been producing these delightful novels of English village life since 1956. Miss Read draws us magically into the world of the primary school. Anna Lacey, a young country girl, is given her first job in Greater London, and as she learns to cope with the challenges of her new life, we share with her the delights of teaching those dear, devilish, delicious, disarming, infuriating and exhusting creatures who are her young pupils.
