Publisher's Summary

It's the May Day holiday, and a fair has come to the village of Thrush Green. The residents of Thrush Green all have their own views about the fair. For young Paul, just recovered from an illness, it is a joy to be allowed out to play at the fair; for Ruth, who returned to the soothing tranquility of Thrush Green nursing a broken heart, the fair is a welcome distraction from her own problems. And for Dr Lovell, the fair brings an unexpected new patient.

Then there is Mrs Curdle, the long-standing matriarch of the fair. For her, this year's visit to Thrush Green awakens mixed feelings, and a difficulty she doesn't want to face.

As good as the book

You know when you love a book and then they make a movie of it? It’s never as good as my imagination had seen it. This reading was equally great as my mind had envisioned and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Simple but not sentimental

Note the reader is June Barrie, not Clare Higgins as listed. Ms. Barrie has a somewhat less plummy accent, a little more gravelly voice, that suits the village setting very well, and she does the dialogue of the many characters superbly.
