"Here you'll find delicious wit, quirky characters, the colorful intrigues of daily life, and certainly love and laughter. . . . Delightful." -Jan Karon
Throughout her years as schoolmistress, Miss Read has gathered excellent accounts of the rich and varied history of her beloved English village, often through neighborly conversation over the gate. Fairacre has garnered its share of odd incidents, entertaining episodes, and village folklore, from an unusual recipe for weight loss found in an old notebook-and used with alarming consequences-to the tragic story of the village ghost. In Over the Gate, Miss Read retells many of these treasured stories of Fairacre past and present, with characteristic grace and wit.
"Affectionate, humorous, and gently charming . . . sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always appealing." -The New York Times
"Miss Read has a humble, laughing heart." -Mademoiselle

Autoren-Porträt von Miss Read
Miss Read (1913-2012) was the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre. The first of these, Village School, was published in 1955, and Miss Read continued to write until her retirement in 1996. In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature.
