There is a complete jack of folksy characterization; for this is English country life as it really is today, where primitive drain co-exist with an efficient school meals service and little girls collect portraits of pop singers as well as wild anemones and catkins. Miss Read writes with faithful precision and a slightly ironic detachment. Humour guides her pen but charity steadies it.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39860054884439,"sku":"7855758","price":5.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243274_jpg.jpg?v=1658838638","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/village-school-by-miss-read-penguin-1963","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
