As always, beautifully written and hilarious.
One of the shortest books of the series, but no less entertaining and funny, "Mrs Pringle" tells the life story of the maddening and unbearable woman that makes Miss Read's life a trial every time the stoves have to be lit or a child dares to make the smallest of messes.

Mrs Pringle
A very pleasing story of the inhabitants of Fairacre and especially Mrs Pringle-fierce but humorous character.

Only Gwen Watford reads this so brilliantly
Another glorious Miss Read, read at a pace to savour. Uplifting, transporting, hilarious- and with a lightness of touch in common with all Miss Read’s that draw humour and pathos with unsentimental poignancy. The deft descriptions of the natural world are are so real - and read as if they were being observed. I wish all Miss Read books were read like this....

Gentle Escapism
Mrs Pringle is a very likeable character despite her curmudgeonly ways and I have enjoyed reading about her in many of the Miss Read books. This isn't one of my favourite Fairacre books but it was a pleasant story to listen to while travelling in the car. The narrator is excellent and very well suited to the books by Miss Read.

Absolutely brilliant!!
I have listened to this at least 100 times. Perfection. If I’ve had a rubbish day or am stressed or down…this is the perfect cure. And there is no narrator like Gwen Watford, she surpasses all the rest. Will be listening to Mrs Pringle until I’m 100 years old.
