Farther Afield（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Open the gate to Fairacre, America’s favorite English village.
The end of a school year often brings unmitigated rapture for
schoolteachers, and so it should for Miss Read, schoolmistress in
the charming English village of Fairacre. But on the very first day
of the long summer holiday, she falls and breaks her arm. Just when
her summer seems ruined, her old friend, Amy Garfield, comes to her
aid with a diverting suggestion. They travel to Crete for two
weeks, and the change of scene provides a welcome break for both of
them. When Miss Read returns, refreshed, to her beloved village,
she is ready to tackle the problems that await her.
