For someone that doesn't like Series books, this is an exception to my thoughts. The Mitford series hooked me from book #1 and are just as good with book #4. I try to read other books in between, but find myself feeling too anxious to see what's going to happen next in the town of Mitford. I list them as I read them and will have all of them eventually, through her final chapter released this year. Thanks for taking time to read my review and for checking out my listing!

This is book 4 of the Mitford Years. I loved this entire series and I'm usually more of a mystery lover. Father Tim is still one of my favorite characters. It is fun and inspiring to get to know him and the townspeople.

Jan Karon's Mitford Series are comfort books. They invite you in and make you feel welcome, right at home.
I waited until I could read the first four books one after the other, for I wanted to know "what happens next?" Delightful stories of mostly delightful, interesting people.
All of these books are so wonderful, and I enjoy them tremendously.
#4 in the Mitford Series is wonderful as usual. I just can't wait to find out what is happening to the characters in her books.
This is my second time to read this book. I always enjoy and learn and am blessed by Jan Karon's writing!! The Mitford Series was fantastic!!
The fourth in the series really kept my attention. It was well written and imaginative. It didn't run long and blended in a mature way, all of the characters from the previous book and added some new ones as well. This particular book made me want to visit Mitford and get to know everyone and the quirky ways of this little hamlet.
Father Tim just keeps me coming back for more. I love this little town and all the characters who live there. You will fall in love with Dooley and even Barnabas. The Mitford books just make you smile.

#4 in the Mitford series
More fun from the Mitford characters who keep getting more and more lovable as the series goes on.
Join Father Tim and his new bride, Cynthia, for more wonderful adventures in Mitford. I read this one in just one night!
read it years ago but am getting my 90 yr old mother reading them while she goes thru chemotherapy. I loved the series; best series since All Things Bright...
As well-written and enjoyable as the previous books in the series. Jan Karon is consistently able to allow us to experience the characters in Mitford going about their daily business like we're looking through a window or listening in on a phone conversation (without feeling voyeuristic!). Simply wonderful.
the last of the four books, the finale, was an enjoyable quiet calming read.
These characters will become your favorite neighbors
4th in the Mitford series.
New condition, copyright 1997. Fourth in the Christian Mitford Series.
