Inviting, tender, and quietly humorous with relationships that feel genuine all wrapped up in a Christian worldview without being preachy -- that is why I'm rereading this series.

I thought this book was a very good sequel to At home in Mitford. I did prefer the 1st book to this one. I liked the character development especially with Dooley.

I liked the first one better

casehouse's review against another edition

After being reminded by a friend that this series is delightfully like "curling up with a cup of tea," I realized that the whole series is missing from my Goodreads list. It's been quite a while since I've read this book, so I'm just guessing on the date. I won't rate it, because the details are fuzzy, but I loved this series. Don't pick it up if you're looking for something exceptionally deep or literary. It's just a warm-hearted and good series with characters striving to learn and do what it right.

I first read this book when I was 10 or something because my mom forgot what the main plot was. Thankfully, most of it went right over my head, but reading it now I'm amazed that I read and enjoyed this at such a young age. Not the best of the Mitford books IMO, but still Mitford, so still wonderful. 3.5 stars.
