In Thrush Green by Miss Read, it's the first of May and time for the annual traveling fair to set up in the small village. This charming book meanders through the life of a large portion of the village on this day. Some find peace as decisions are reached, and others find nothing by trouble. For some the future shines long and bright, and for others the path is coming to a close. Interwoven together this beautifully descriptive stroll through a day in the life of a small village is a peaceful way to pass the time. The book itself I thought I'd best summed up through its own words.
"She... suddenly realized what riches were gathered there together in one lovely drop of time."
