More like 3.5 but I'll round up.

I didn't love this, but it was still charming and overall was enjoyable. It's little vignettes about life in Wandlebury during WWII. Some are more enjoyable than others, but it's charming. The love story seemed a bit tacked on, but I still liked it. Barbara was hardly in this, and we got some chapters about other people (Miss Marks, Sam, the soldiers) that I didn't love but added to the character of it.

Not bad, not the best. Definitely read Miss Buncle's Book, but the other two aren't as necessary unless you just want more.

This one ages awfully on multiple fronts, not least Markie's fixation on phrenology
