Such a great escape!
If you need to escape to a small town with interesting characters, a simpler lifestyle, and a possible romace, this one is for you! I LOVED reading this entire book series, and this radio theatre brought it all to life in such a wonderful way. With music and sound effects and professional actors (that you may even recognize!) I enjoyed myself all over again. I could listen to this in the car on a road trip, or as I fall asleep at night. It never gets old, and the themes of patience and compassion are always relevant. I loved it so much, I bought one for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day! What John Denver is to music, Jan Karon is to literature. It brings me peace every time. Highly recommend!

At Home in Mitford
Listening to this reminds me so much of my childhood. The story is wonderfully written and dramatized. I listen to this and many others via CD when I’m doing sewing, cleaning or driving. I can’t wait to share these with my grandson.

Excellent quality
I loved the Mitford book series and was happy to see that these CDs were available to listen to. I sincerely hope more books from the series will be available to listen to on CD as well. It sure makes for a happy commute to work or running errands.

Wonderful!
I've read (and re-read) all of the "Mitford" books and love everything written by Jan Karon. I'd listened to the Radio Theatre: At Home in Mitford on the radio, and it was really good. (All of Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre presentations are wonderful and so well done.) This purchase will be a Christmas present for my sister. She loves everything "Mitford" as much as I do.
