Set in the quiet country town neighboring the village of Fairacre, The Caxley Chronicles follow two families, the Howards and the Norths, through the tumultuous first half of the twentieth century. The first novel, The Market Square, portrays the deep-rooted camaraderie of Septimus Howard and Bender North, whose friendship survives misunderstandings, the tragedy of war, and the bitterness of loss.
The story of their families continues through the generations. The second tale, The Howards of Caxley, tells of Edward Howard, grandson to them both. Edward flies for the Royal Air Force Reserve as England prepares for another war-and Caxley braces itself for overwhelming changes...
Praise for Miss Read's novels
"If you've ever enjoyed a visit to Mitford, you'll relish a visit to Fairacre." -Jan Karon
"Miss Read reminds us of what is really important. And if we can't live in her world, it's certainly a comforting place to visit." -USA Today
"Miss Read does this sort of thing very well, and it all goes down as easily and pleasantly as lemon whip." -Kirkus Reviews
Miss Read (1913-2012) was the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre. The first of these, Village School, was published in 1955, and Miss Read continued to write until her retirement in 1996. In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature.
