Publisher's summary

At last, Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor Father Tim has married his talented and vivacious neighbor Cynthia. Now, of course, they must face love's challenges: new sleeping arrangements for Father Tim's sofa-sized dog, Cynthia's urge to decorate the rectory Italian-villa-style, and the growing pains of the thrown-away boy who's become like a son to the rector.

Add a life-changing camping trip, the arrival of the town's first policewoman, and a new computer that requires the patience of a saint, and you know you're in for another engrossing visit to Mitford, the little town that audiences everywhere call home.

Don't miss out on the rest of Father Tim's adventures in Mitford.

These High Green Hills
The consolation of Tim and Cynthias new marriage, and the terror of being lost in the cave brings new dimension to their relationship. While the introduction of Lace Turners character further exposes us to the evils of child abuse, and still the discovery of Dooleys mother, Pauline Barlow, introduces hope of restoration and forgiveness.. Dear Sadie Baxters demise is countered by the ongoing encouragement of Hope House and the blessings it will bring to many in the future of Mitford, especially as we meet it's. new Chaplain .

Forget what anyone else says about the reader

I almost didn't start this series because of the negative comments about the reader. I'm so glad I tried it out. I really can't imagine what the complaint is. I read that he was "too slow" and I disagree entirely. The writing is clever and descriptive and the reading reflects that. Don't miss these books because of those comments!

great story

I continue to be delighted with the reader and how he brings out the depth of the characters. The writing has such thoughtful depth.

Hello Old Friends!

What did you love best about These High, Green Hills?

I especially love hearing Miss Sadie's stories.

Which character – as performed by John McDonough – was your favorite?

Father Tim

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and no. Hard to turn off, and yet I wanted it to last forever.

Any additional comments?

If you've not read Jan Karon's Mitford stories, start at the beginning and be prepared to be swept away. On my most frazzled days, these stories can soothe my soul. These characters become friends almost instantly. Father Tim has had a profound impact on my life. If Mitford existed, with Father Tim still living in the rectory or the little yellow house next door, I’d be arranging for moving trucks right now!

A lovely rest

I have to admit the I enjoy Fancy Skinner’s salon chats more than anyone really should LOL!! John makes the audiobooks so wonderful. Jan is a treasure. Love love love this series!

I love visiting Mitford and the people over and over through the years!

I never get tired of listening and re-listening to these books and John McDonough’s narration! I listen to the series all the way through every few years. It’s a vacation away from everyday problems and some of the best sermons I’ve heard.
