Obviously Miss Hargreaves is far and away my favourite, but I'm also very much enjoying Mrs. Tim, loved Henrietta, thought Love's Shadow was fantastic. It's all sounding very enthused here... actually my least favourite so far is The Brontes Went To Woolworths, and I actually really like that too! I haven't read A Kid for Two Farthings yet.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-903976487309563152009-12-10T11:05:45.215+00:002009-12-10T11:05:45.215+00:00Such lovely covers!

Like callmemadam, I have to disagree with you about Henrietta's War, which, along with the follow up (Henrietta See It Through - I think - it's not to hand at the moment) is poignant and funny and eminently re-readable. But thank you, Kristina - I haven't read any of the others, and intend to do so now!<br /><br />I can't recommend the Mapp and Lucia books by EF Benson enough at the moment - such vividly drawn characters living detailed lives, steeped in venom and gossip, in small villages. Priceless stuff!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-9923696913357031782009-12-09T23:53:37.049+00:002009-12-09T23:53:37.049+00:00Gorgeous covers!Gorgeous covers!Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988690520485027673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-82355715749541049842009-12-09T15:46:07.400+00:002009-12-09T15:46:07.400+00:00Who needs to read them when they can just gaze upo...Who needs to read them when they can just gaze upon the luscious covers??
