Wonderful Relaxing Reading

Miss Read is always creates a wonderful world to escape to: many of the characters are charming, all have common problems, and even the uncharming ones are extremely human without being obscene. I loved following the growth of Joseph Coggs, the son of a drunken father and basically illiterate mother, from his entrance into first grade through his progress into Miss Read's class. And there's the on-going battle between Mrs. Pringle, the school cleaning lady, and Miss Read--you feel as if these are people you really know and can identify with.
