Apple tree lean down

I first read this book when I was about ten, & re-read the whole series over the years. To this day it is still with me. The portrayal of the character's, the places they inhabit & the way their stories as individuals are related, is very real & very moving. Even now, though it has been years since I last read the series (I'm now in my thirties)- I find that this book, its characters, & the history portrayed within its covers has never left me.

This is a wonderful story

This is a great story and I enjoyed reading it. This book has left a standing impression. I will remember this story and encourage anyone to read it. Its not the best in the world but it is very enjoyable.

charming

What a lovely book to read! The dialogue is touching, hilariously funny, fascinating and rings with honesty. The characters have depth and personality. An excellent choice.

Great Book

Superior!!! I read this book years ago after the birth of my son. It filled me with such depth of emotion (no book since has made me feel like I was part of it) If you have never read it, read it. The characters and countryside will remain with you for life!

A wonderful Read

Apple Tree Lean Down is the foundation book of all of MaryPearce's writings. If you can find it,count yourself as one of thelucky ones! Mary Pearce writes about english farm life like no one else on the planet.Her characters have such depth, that you feel they are old friends. Her historical knowledge of the way farm life was in the 1800's is phenomenal.All of her books are unforgettable, and you find yourself reading them over and over again.Jack Mercybright is a living breathing person you wish you could meet.And there is excitement,suspense,drama and death as well as beauty of the English Countryside. I can't say enough good things about this remarkable author. Lynda Blair
