(  )readingrat | Jun 9, 2009 |  1   I did not really see the draw in this work although I realize that it was popular with many folks. I did not find the traditional view of American life depicted here as all that charming. gmicksmith | May 25, 2009 | This is, and always will be my favorite of the Mitford series. In it we meet Father Tim, a dog, a boy, a quirky church secretary, a lovely and eye-opening neighbor as well as a host of other characters who populate the little town. These stories make you feel comfortable and good. They are what I read when I need to boost my happy mode. (  )MrsLee | Mar 4, 2009 | The Mitford Years is a very good series - Father Tim and the small southern town he lives in are a comfortable, cozy atmosphere. Is not married at first, but soon does (while in his later years) and gets interesting. gardener2510 | Feb 16, 2009 | Episcopal rector tends to his loving and quirky parishioners in the quaint, cozy village of Mitford. Some action and mystery, but mostly character/dialog driven. Frequent use of the word “poop.” chosler | Jan 15, 2009 | 0.760 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 014025448X, Paperback)Father Tim, a cherished small-town rector, is the steadfast soldier in this beloved slice of life story set in an American village where the grass is still green, the pickets are still white, and the air still smells sweet. The rector's forthright secretary, Emma Garret, worries about her employer, as she sees past his Christian cheerfulness into his aching loneliness. Slowly but surely, the empty places in Father Tim's heart do get filled. First with a gangly stray dog, later with a seemingly stray boy, and finally with the realization that he is stumbling into love with his independent and Christian-wise next-door neighbor. Much more than a gentle love story, this is a homespun tale about a town of endearing characters-- including a mysterious jewel thief--who are as quirky and popular as those of Mayberry, R.F.D. --Gail Hudson(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:09 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
