Book Review of
Miss Buncle’s Book
Miss Buncle’s Book by D.E. Stevenson was published in 1936.
Barbara Buncle is in a bind. Times are harsh, and her bank account has seen better days. She decided maybe she could write and sell a book. Lacking ideas, Barbara draws inspiration from her fellow residents of Silverstream, the little English village she knows inside and out.
To her surprise, the book is a hit. Thankfully, she wrote under a pseudonym because the folks of Silverstream are in an uproar over what is in her book.
Lynn's Review
I can’t remember where I first heard about Miss Buncle’s Book, but it was a charming, delightful read. It was published in 1936, and it has an old-fashioned English village feel.
It took me about fifty pages to get into this book, but once I did, it was a fun read about village life. I can totally see myself rereading this one in ten years. I already ordered the next two books in the series. If
If you love books about books, this is one that is a little different, but definitely about books. If you loved the Mitford series books, I think you will enjoy this one.
