I've read all four volumes of the Mitford books by Jan Karon, and they are the most enjoyable books I've ever read! The author does an amazing job of building the personalities in this small town. You follow the parish father as he interacts with the townspeople and his dog and the boy he raises...I won't tell you any more, but I hated finishing volume 4 because it's like saying goodbye to an old friend!

I bought the first book at a store that had used books included in their things for sale. While reading the book I was hooked and looking at the first pages, realized they were a series. I went to a used book store and accidently but happily found only two of Jan Karon's books, one was the one that I was reading at the time and the other happened to be book two which I purchased very quickly. After doing research and learning how much it was going to cost to purchase the rest of the series from the published, I happened to remember purchasing some books a couple years before from e-bay, so I went to the website and found all of the rest of the series. I love reading these books because not only do they are so well written that you actually feel like you are right there in Mitford while you are reading them. I also like the references to the bible through out the books. Some years ago I collected the Grace Livingston Hill books and still have them. Occasionally I run across one of her books that I do not have which is few and far between since I have most of them. They are really good but Jan Karon's books transport you to the site/scene you are reading about so very well. I loaned one to a friend of mine and she just let me know that she had read the first chapter of book one and clearly understood why I loved them so well.Read full review
Timely arrival, sooner than I expected. Reading the whole series. This is an excellent book so far. I’m reading it right now.

Another excellent book in the Mitford Series by Jan Karon. The author continues to excel in taking the reader to Mitford, a wonderful journey to an imaginary town, but a time and place we all yearn for. I love the ongoing development of the characters as well as introduction of new characters...all colorful, common, everyday people with real life experiences and their interaction with one another for the good of all. Community life at it's best. Everyone should go to Mitford!
A lovely little book. A very well written and relaxing read.
