I tried three times to read this one and each time I cringed at the saccharine-sweetness of the little, perfect town. Perhaps I'm not the target audience for this one.

Wonderful heartwarming book. It was so descriptive that it made me feel like I was actually in the small town of Mitford everytime I opened it, and I couldn't wait to read more each time I finally put it down at night. The characters are really personable. My favorite character is Dooley...love his interaction with all the townspeople. Took me a few chapters to really get into it, but I am so glad that I did...I highly, highly recommend this one!!!

LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! I have heard so many good things about the Mitford series and I ordered it not quite knowing what to expect. The characters are all so real and loveable :) I am now working my way through the rest of the series!

A few years ago my mom and I were reading in our living room, and she was reading this book. Then all of a sudden, she started laughing until her face turned red. I was very confused and kept asking her what was so funny and she finally read me an excerpt from "At Home in Mitford" about Barnabus. Then I laughed until MY face was red. From then on, I was hooked. What a great series!

This is the first novel in the Mitford series. I love these books. Father Tim, the bachelor rector contends with a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away and an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge.

At Home in Mitford is exactly the kind of book to curl up with a cold night. It is full of rich characters and descriptions and has an old-timey charm.

This is book 1 of the Mitford Years. I loved this entire series and I'm usually more of a mystery lover. Father Tim is still one of my favorite characters. It is fun and inspiring to get to know him and the townspeople.

This is about Father Tim, his dog Barnabas, and his Church Secretary. Disappearing jewels and a secret that is 60 years old. Very UpBeat

It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. Yet Father Tim, the bachelor rectorm wants something more. Add an attractive neighbor, lovable but unloved boy, jewel theft and a 60 year old secret, Suddenly He gets more than he bargained for.

This is one of the best series of books I've ever read. The characters are so totally life like and you want so much to move to this town and immerse yourself with these folks! I have read the entire series twice and each time receive great pleasure from my trip to Mitford! I cannot recommend this series highly enough!

I loved this book. It is sweet and easy to read. A good book about a small town and the people who live there. I was sad when it ended!
Karen C. from FRANKLIN, NC wrote on 12/12/2007...If you want to read a nice, christian based story, this is for you. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters.
I loved this book. It's very sweet, a good escape from reality. I can't wait to read book #2.
I loved the Jan Karon series. I have been hanging on to them but have decided to part with them. They are a cozy neighborly read. Heartwarming...
If you like sweet stories about interesting people, you will love the Mitford chronicles! This is the first one in the series - and it hooked me - I anxiously awaited the following ones!
Toni T. (I thought this was a very warm & funny story. I'm going to get the rest of the series as soon as I can.
I absolutely love this book. I want to live in this little town.
This is another very good book by Jan Karon. She takes right in to Mitford and you feel right at home there. She also shows the love of God in every character
