Battles at Thrush Green by Miss Read

Description

“Battles at Thrush Green” by Miss Read (pen name of Dora Saint) is a delightful novel set in the charming Cotswolds village of Thrush Green. Published in 1970, it’s the fourth book in the popular Thrush Green series, though each book can be read independently.

The seemingly peaceful village of Thrush Green is stirred by a few “battles” as autumn rolls into winter. The rector’s plan to revamp the neglected churchyard faces dissent, the beloved Miss Fogerty, a veteran teacher, clashes with the new, modern teaching methods of her young colleague, and the return of a resident after a 50-year absence triggers old memories and stirs up gossip.
