Save the date for some English village fun: "You'll relish a visit to Thrush Green" (Jan Karon, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). In the Cotswolds village of Thrush Green, celebrations are underway. A statue of Nathaniel Patten has graced the green for years, but little is known of the village's most distinguished son until an unexpected letter arrives. When the correspondence shows that one hundred years have passed since the opening of Patten's mission school in Africa, coinciding with the centenary of Thrush Green's own village school, the townsfolk decide to combine festivities for a very special occasion. As with all village events, the plans for the celebration are beset with anxieties, but when the long-anticipated day arrives, the village finds reason to rejoice. "For the fans, another deep dream of peace—in the doings of that Cotswold English village of Thrush Green, endearingly chronicled as civil neighbors enjoy little pleasures and major satisfactions . . . A bedtime soother of remarkable potency." — Kirkus Reviews
