Summary
A weight-losing recipe sends a portly Victorian housemaid literally sky-high. Mrs Next-Door, the queen of copycats, drives her patient neighbour mad with rage; the tragic tale of the ghost of Fairacre; the touch-and-go romance of Elsie Parker.
In Over the Gate, Miss Read, the village schoolmistress, continues to remember odd incidents and excellent stories and to retell them with characteristic grace and compassion.

good but not the best of the series
The usual from Fairacre with the particular notion of looking back at some old wives tales from the community. Fine, but for me this was a bit of a miss when compared to the other stories from Fairacre. Certainly this would not be one of the Miss Read stories that I would be recommending. so many other great ones to choose from, this was mediocre.

Why oh why?
Please please re-number this book! Yes it’s good, but totally ruined by knowing everything that comes ahead. Surely most people read a series in order and this is pre-Holy Island, so should be 0 not 11!! Come on Audible, get into gear!!

Another lovely read
Once again a beautiful journey through the eyes of the residents of fairacre … nice easy listening especially on a Sunday afternoon. Brings a kind of peacefulness to the soul.

Good story
Gwen Watford is a marvellous narrator of the Miss Read books as she brings the books to life.
