Father Tim is now sure of his feeling towards Cynthia, his neighbor, but is having trouble getting up the nerve to take the next step. Edith Mallory hovers like a dark cloud on the horizon, and there is some worry as to whether or not The Grill will be able to remain open after its rent is doubled. Add to this Buck Leeper, a job construction superintendent who can be very hostile, and that trouble that Dooley’s getting into, and you have a great Mitford story!
I couldn’t put this, or any other Mitford book down for anything, (unless you include eating, chores, and, well, maybe sleeping) and if I did put it down, I was back as soon as possible. In my review, I only covered a few of the things going on. Mitford is a great series, and this is a great book.

Father Tim is the local rector in the small town of Mitford, living a normal life. Well, as normal as life can be with a dog the size of a Buick following you, a potentially valuable painting, a mysterious break-in, a hostile young boy arriving at your doorstep, a new neighbor, and an epic dinner party.
Once you enter the world of Mitford, you’ll never want to leave! The characters are so real, and everything is written in a humorous light. Jan Karon possesses a rare talent of making you actually laugh out loud while reading. When you finish this book, you’ll have to grab the next one, wishing the series never ended.

Author: Laura Ingalls Wilder
Laura must teach school to help Mary in the school for the blind. The school where she teaches, however, is far from home, and it’s winter, so she must stay with the surly Brewsters. Some of the students are older than she is, and Mrs. Brewster makes life miserable. However, Almanzo Wilder drives out every weekend to bring her home, and then drives her back. Laura wonders why he does this. And what will he do when the school term is over?
Well, you can probably tell very easily. It’s not hard to guess that Almanzo and Laura are standing there on the cover. You probably know where the story goes from there. Yes, I’m saying it’s predictable, but it’s good. Read it, and enjoy.

A poor old man and his wife want something other than turnips to eat, so they trade socks made from the man’s sweater to their neighbors for milk and cheese.
There’s not much to say about this one, except that it’s a short, fun book with a delightful ending.
