Was a bit dissappointed in the simplicity of the books. In fact, so disappointed that I haven't read them.

Jan Karon Christmas in Mitford Gift Set

I loved this set. I love and have collected all of the Mitford Series books by Jan Karon. They make me feel wonderful and comforted. I would highly recommend any of this Series of books.

A Must-Read Every Christmas

Precious stories that will lift and warm your heart. I re-read them every year to stay in the spirit of Christmas. You will chuckle and nod in agreement at the actions and comments of the characters.

OH WOW!!

We got the recipe and a wonderful book to read every Christmas to remind you what is important. Esther's Gift is very short but the perfect book to get you in the mood for Christmas. I will remember to read it every year!

for the Baker at heart...

I'm just a 32 yr.old Mom & wife, for now.,this is for the Baker at heart... I'd heard of these books, but couldn't remember the titles , nor the author. When I finally figured out which books they were, and found the books, I orded the gift set, 'The Mitford Snowmen', and 'Esther's gift', for my self, just to 'try a few out', without buying the whole set. A friend said I'd love them, because I love to bake, and am also an avid reader. I love to try new and decadent desserts, to always top whatever my previous triumph had been. These 2 small books were a joy to read, and I am looking forward to reading all the others, as well as passing them on to other friends or family to read. Esther seems to be just like me, with all her worries, and her heart is always in the right place. I must say that I was a bit dissappointed at the short length of the books (they are only short stories), but I thoroughly enjoyed them. I look forward to reading the rest of the series, as I know that they are larger books. The Marmalade cake is GLORIOUS!! Never have I had any cake so wonderful. I recommend this to any woman who enjoys good, old-fashioned home-town stories; whom love to entertain, cook, and hear stories about the kind of characters we can all relate to. Also recommended: Katherine Hepburn biography; 'Kate Remembered',any and all 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' books, all the Anne Rice trilogies,Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit. 'Taste of Home','Reminisce ','Cooking Light', & 'Gourmet'magazine
