This book does not fit strictly into the chronolgical sequence of Fairacre books, but consists of a series of stories about her, giving some interesting biographical details along the way. We hear about the very first encounter of the new headmistress with Mrs P, told, of course, from the perspective of Miss Read.
It's a lovely little book,the perfect companion to a nice cup of tea and a choccy biscuit (or a Pimm's if it's summer)!

... than I expected, as many, if not all, the stories are in other Miss Read books, although some wording is altered slightly to appear more directly concerned with Mrs Pringle. If you already have several Miss Read books, it's perhaps not worth buying this one.

the least of the series

Format:Paperback
I have always been a true fan of the Fairacre novels; I found I enjoyed them even more than Miss Read's beloved Thrush Green novels. "Mrs. Pringle," however, is the literary equivalent of a television clip show: One-half to two-thirds of the material in this book has already appeared in greater detail and written in a more interesting fashion in previous Fairacre novels.
It's marginally worth reading for a few of the new tales about Mrs. Pringle, particularly a few about Mrs. Pringle miscreant girlhood. But, if you decide to skip this one, you can pick up in the next book without having missed anything.
