In this humorous and charming story, Miss Read draws us magically into the world of the primary school. Anna Lacey, a young country girl, is given her first job in Greater London, and as she learns to cope with the challenges of her new life, we share with her the delights and pleasures of teaching ‘those dear, devilish, delicious, disarming, infuriating and exhausting creatures’ who are her young pupils.

Miss. Read is the pen name chosen by the author of sweet country life, Dora Jessie Saint. Dora Jessie Saint grew up in the English county of Kent. She was a studious child who later chose to become a teacher following in her father’s footsteps. At one point she experienced working as a teacher in West London and later moved out into the countryside. This switch from city to country life can be seen in reverse in her story 'Fresh From The Country'.

Taking a break from her country village focussed books Dora Jessie Saint explores the world of a girl’s life journey from country to city. It possibly reflects parts of her own life as she narrates the story of a young teacher dealing with her new position in a London school. The lifestyle is so dramatically different from her previous village life and Anna Lacey must meander through the engulfing city living and working conditions to make her fit in and feel at home.

Renowned film actress Gwen Watford reads this complete and unabridged CD audiobook lending her theatrical background to the narration of this beautiful story. Buy it now to discover how Anna Lacey copes with the contrasting backdrop of big city life.
