This is a marvelous series! Loosely based on/related to Trollope's Barset Chronicles. The cast of characters appear, disappear, and reappear. Thirkell herself often claimed that she lost track of her characters - there were so many - and that's why one would suddenly reappear.
The series follows the lives of several families living near one another in the early 20th century. Very British. Some quite funny (dry Brit humor). A laudable addition to the ebook library. I hope their conversion produced readable ebooks - I too will report on them.
If you like the Miss Read series, you'll love these!
