It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's 60 years old. Suddenly Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And listeners get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.Don't miss out on the rest of Father Tim's adventures in Mitford.©1997 Jan Karon (P)1998 Penguin Audiobooks

love father Tim a small town story

I really enjoyed hearing this read by the author to get the true accent of the region.

Abridged version lacking

Having read the book, abridged makes it all facts, not much heart or character development

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

One of my favorite books of all time!!! & having it read by Ms. Karon, what a treat!!!!!!!

Love the reading as much as the book

Such a easy listening to book. The author is the perfect narrator as her tone, pace and inflection match the words to the book delightfully.

Food for the soul!

Listening to this book read by Jan Karon was an absolute delight! Her characters have become old friends

Uplifting

We are made for relationships and this book has many. Friends, family and community are all addressed in this quiet and comfortable story.

Wonderfully entertaining

I am on book 4. I am amazed at how wonderful Jan Karon reads her own books. She is an awesome narrator. My children, 6 and 7, are even getting into them. Thank you, Jan, for making this. I actually look forward to remodeling now, because it is when I can listen to these books!

Inspiring and uplifting

This inspiring and uplifting story introduces that you to a special person and all the unique and colorful people in his life. A good start to what I believe will be an excellent series of heartwarming books. I look forward to hearing more.

Beautifully Read

must have. her voice makes a world of difference. I have the paper books and I love the digital copy

Spell Binding

This book was recommended to me by several friends. I haven't read a book in a great many years but when I sat down with this one I was glued to it. I love the little family, the little town and all the members of the town. Every single person in the book are so real you wish you lived there. When I finished this book, I immediately ran out and bought the next in the series, and then the next after that. Once you start reading, you need to know that you won't be able to stop after the first book.
