Publisher Description

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because - as she naively explained - her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends - quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

The reactions of her friends to Miss Buncle's book, however, were a little surprising, and the far-reaching and unexpected results of its publication caused quite a stir.

"Wonderfully witty, comfortably cozy, heck of a good read. No one gets murdered; no bad language; no x-rating - an oddity in this day and age. This is a "pull up a comfortable chair on a rainy afternoon" kind of story. Hated to have it end, but, thank goodness, there is a sequel!"

    " My best friend gave it to me as a birthday present. I enjoyed every page of it. I laughed out loud several times. It's not a great work of literature (in the canonical sense) but it is really amusing! "

    " I read this book a while ago, and I loved it. It's not particularly ambitious nor fast-paced, but it was just a charming, sweet, easy to read book that made me feel happy once I had finished. It was basically like a book version of a cup of tea. "

    " I completely enjoyed this book, especially Arthur Abbott. With the author's bows to Jane Austen, how could I not like it. Somehow, though, it was just a shade less satisfying than Miss Buncle. "
