The endearing schoolmistress Miss Read brings her inimitable blend of affection and clear-sighted candor to this report, in which a young girl finds her first love, an older woman accepts a new role in life, and the impassioned battle to save the village from being engulfed is at the forefront of every villager’s mind.

Preparations for a food sale, a concert, a school play, and a gigantic Christmas bazaar are soon made -- but will they be enough?
