Dora Saint – better known to millions of readers as Miss Read – is one of England’s most beloved authors. Famous for her much-loved novels set in the fictional villages of Fairacre and Thrush Green.

This summer, I followed in her footsteps, visiting some of the places that inspired her writing, before sitting down for a very special conversation with her daughter, Jill Saint.

In this 20-minute documentary, we remember Miss Read – her life, her books, the places she loved, and the enduring appeal of her stories.

If you’re a long-time Miss Read reader, I hope this film brings back some happy memories. And if you’ve never discovered her books before, perhaps it will inspire you to seek out Fairacre and Thrush Green for yourself.
