Praise for the Mitford Novels "Karon knits Mitford's small-town characters and multiple story lines into a cozy sweater of a book."-- USA Today "Jan Karon reflects contemporary culture more fully than almost any other living novelist."-- Los Angeles Times "Welcome home, Mitford fans...to Karon's gift for illuminating the struggles that creep into everyday lives--along with a vividly imagined world."-- People "Karon offers her readers another chance to escape their own world, if just for a while, and live in the town that 'takes care of its own.' Her readers say they wish Mitford existed so they could move there."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch

    Good transaction. I received this book in good time. It was nicely packaged (with several other books), so no damage to it while in transit. It is in good condition, and looks just as it was described and photographed in the listing. What more do you want in an eBay transaction? I’ve bought a few from this seller and wouldn't have any hesitation in buying from them again. Thank you!

    Ordered Tuesday night. Shipped early Wednesday morning. Arrived on time Saturday morning by USPS Bound Printed Matter from TN to WI. It was packaged in a gray plastic shipping bag without cushioning. End of spine had minor shipping damage (see photos). It was the only noticeable condition issue on an otherwise very good used cookbook. Exceptional value. Good experience with a not-for-profit organization. Thanks!

    Wow, pleasantly surprised to receive a brand new copy still in the shrink wrap, although it has a little bump on the top cover that goes through to several pages, makes no difference, as I got the book at a bargain price. Fast shipping, very happy with my purchase, I recommend this seller!

    Outstanding Book

    The story is one you won’t want to put down! The characters in the book are people you will find yourself thinking about when you’re not reading! When I finish one book, I can’t wait to start the next!!! I have enjoyed them all and I’m starting to reread them!

    Wonderfully sweet!

    Once I was half way into the first book I was hooked. Such a sweet story of father Tim with many different characters and stories within. You feel Ike you are part of the story yourself and that you have taken up residence in Mitford! I am starting the third book, the story line keeps holding up and does not disappoint.

    Love this story

    This is the first book in the Mitford series. I have read the whole series before, but was missing my copy of At Home In Mitford, so I ordered this one to replace it. These books are my all-time favorites. I highly recommend them, starting with this book. I love the quirky characters and the quaint little town. So delightful! .

    Volume One in the most delightful books!

    My favorite set of books, Jan Karon does an amazing job creating a set of characters that interact in this small town, as seen through the eyes of the parish father. More than worth your time, you hate to finish the set of books!

    At Home in Mitford

    Jan Karon is my favorite fiction writer and I keep a collection of her books, which I send to friends as gifts. Always happy to find one. Shipment was prompt and condition is good.
