All rumours are soon laid to rest when Peter and Donna Hale arrive in Fairacre to view Tyler's Row, with plans to knock the middle two cottages into one, and create their own rural haven.But the Hales soon discover that Fairacre is no Utopia but a normal English village, with all the usual troubles...Miss Read was a teacher by profession who started writing after the Second World War. In addition to her novels, she has written on educational and country matters, and worked as a script-writer for the BBC. She lives in Berkshire and was made an MBE for her services to literature.
