A major celebration is planned in the Cotswold village of Thrush Green: the village school is in its centenary year; and exactly a hundred years ago, one of the village's most notable residents founded a mission school in Africa. But the preparations are beset with problems: Winnie Bailey's health is not what it was; the new headmaster doesn't appear to be entirely right for the job; and there are mixed reactions to the fundraising appeal for the mission school. But when the big day arrives, there are more reasons for celebration than anyone anticipated.

      Miss Read weaves a charming tapestry of words and characters in a tale of English village life which is particularly suitable for audio. The text is enhanced by Gwen Watford's narration, which portrays the various dialects and personalities, fleshing out the delightful story and parade of char-acters. Popping a tape into the cassette player is a pleasure for the world-weary listener. It's as if a dear friend has dropped by for tea to recount the local gossip. Anyone who needs a break from a hectic day would do well to take this audio tour of Thrush Green. B.L.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

      Enter the world of Thrush Green, an English Cotswold village, where not much--and a great deal--happens. Miss Read is justly famous for her wise Thrush Green and Fairacre books, based on her own experiences as a rural English schoolteacher. Gwen Watford's voice is sharper than this reviewer--a longtime Miss Read addict--associates with the gentle stories. Although her reading is clear and well paced, Watford sometimes sounds like the local "lady of the manor" who is not altogether fond of the villagers. It's not a bad reading, just not an affectionate one. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
