I own the entire series in pbook, acquired with some difficulty over the years. There goes the value of my collection, lol! Angela Thirkell wrote the same book over and over, but if you like that sort of thing, you'll eat them up.

The only caveat I have is that the books take on a sour note as time passes. The post-war books don't have the same cheer of the pre-war books. The whole series serves as a window onto a conservative's view of social change in England in the middle of the 20th century.
