Miss Buncle's Book by D.E. Stevenson

Dorothy Whipple

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Tea-or-Books-episode-3.mp3   A little later than we planned (which is probably a good indication of how unreliable we’re going to be… but I hope not!) here is episode 3 of Tea or Books? with lovely Rachel of Book Snob. In this episode, we discuss re-reading vs. reading books that we’ve not read before (which I’ve described, more pithily, as ‘new books’ – but, knowing me and Rachel, they’re unlikely actually to be new) and then we pit D.E. Stevenson against Dorothy Whipple. That bit might get us into trouble, but we are ready and willing to get suggestions… Listen above, or download/subscribe through iTunes (here, or search in iTunes store), and let us know what you think. You can even add ratings and reviews on iTunes, donchaknow.   The books we mention are: Put Out More Flags – Evelyn Waugh Emma – Jane Austen Miss Hargreaves – Frank Baker Provincial Lady series – E.M. Delafield Anna Karenina – Leo Tolstoy Cheerful Weather for the Weather – Julia Strachey One Fine Day – Mollie Panter-Downes The Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger Sweet Valley High The Baby-sitters Club The L-Shaped Room – Lynne Reid Banks The Secret Garden – Frances Hodgson Burnett Villette – Charlotte Bronte Gilead – Marilynne Robinson Between the Acts – Virginia Woolf The Franchise Affair – Josephine Tey Northanger Abbey – Jane Austen Miss Buncle’s Book – D.E. Stevenson Mrs Tim of the Regiment – D.E. Stevenson Cold Comfort Farm – Stella Gibbons Someone at a Distance – Dorothy Whipple They Knew Mr Knight – Dorothy Whipple Greenbanks – Dorothy Whipple High Wages – Dorothy Whipple The Closed Door – Dorothy Whipple Every Good Deed – Dorothy Whipple They Were Sisters – Dorothy Whipple The Priory – Dorothy Whipple Because of the Lockwoods – Dorothy Whipple Random Commentary – Dorothy Whipple The Other Day – Dorothy Whipple Young Anne – Dorothy Whipple
