Fantastic book

This is a really lovely book about the events iun a village leading up to the village fete. I have never laughed so much apart from once in "Red Dwarf' - it's just very funny. It's also very sweet and the characters are very believable - i was sure some of them were from my village anyway. Its very English and it's a shame its out of print. I am a fan of hers though and there are two IN print - "Gargoyles and Port" which is about a Cambridge College, and "All That Glisters" which is about the sudden discovery of a huge and unbelievable treasure in a village pond. Buy them now, honestly - trist me!

A gentle book with moments of laugh out loud wit.

I loved this book, it is about life in an English village and the characters are drawn with a perceptive and amusing pen. The plot centres around the staging of the annual village fete and the individuals expectations, however that is a very broad outline and relationships are disected with a clarity that is refreshing. If you enjoy Joanna Trollope and Mary Wesley you will enjoy Mary Selby. I look forward to her next book and hope it is not too far away.
