Extractions: By Tracy Jones There are dozens of books that promise to deliver a formula for a best-selling novel. Jan Karon didn't follow the advice in any of them. Create larger-than-life characters. Nope. She built her first novel, At Home in Mitford , around an aging Episcopal priest and his decidedly provincial parishioners. Give readers exotic settings. Again, no. Instead, Karon gave them four novels set in the imaginary hamlet of Mitford, a town of about 1,000, a quiet place with tree-lined streets, mom and pop businesses, and plenty of opportunities for gossip. Construct gripping, spiraling sequences of events. In books where the central character's dilemma might be whether or not to return a casserole dish to the little old lady who's been winking at him from the pews, plot twists aren't the main attraction. Why then, have readers placed Jan Karon's four novels about Mitford on bestseller lists across the country? And why are they clamoring for more? Has something in Karon's work unexpectedly resonated with readers? "Honey, has it ever," Karon says. This despite the fact that Father Tim, the main character in the Mitford series, is, as his author describes him, "more than middle-aged."

Extractions: "Mary Russel Mitford." Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine 75.464 (Jun. 1854): 663. Excerpt. So often quoted, and so universally known, it would be useless to multiply examples of Miss Mitford's peculiar power. There are few more successful landscape-painters-and with her minute pencil and fairy colours there is no pre-Raphaelite brother that will "do" you a sunny bank of flowers or bit of entangled foliage with equal truth, or observation as skilled. Miss Mitford's grass does not bristle in individual blades, but mantles like close-piled velvet; and her delicate wild-flowers are not lying all abroad, but peeping, half-discerned and half invisible, from the rich verdure round them, with all the shy and blushing modesty of nature, all unaware that it is sitting for its portrait.

And the last is to be Light from Heaven in 2005. Radix : Do you think your more recent books are the best of the lot? Youve talked about learning to write. Are you getting better at it? Karon : In some ways. Some people say the first book is their favorite. Its like your first love affair, your first sweetheart, your first kiss. I mean its hard to top your first kiss. But, I guess In This Mountain would be my favorite, because it was such a struggle, a book of struggle, and I was undergoing some deep struggle. Radix : Out of Canaan and In This Mountain are deeper somehow, it seems to me. Morris Love is a most complicated and dramatic character in Canaan and Uncle Billys eulogy chapter in Mountain is my favorite bit in all of your books. Karon : I really love Uncle Billy, and in Shepherds Abiding, I spent a lot of time with him. I think hes a wonderful guy.

Extractions: 2004 Home Tour The July 2003 fundraiser for the St. Anne's Project was a combination of two productions based on the Jan Karon books connected to an Episcopal congregation in the fictional town of Mitford. These playlets were adapted by director Lynn Steveson of Union County from two of Karon's books: Miss Fannie's Hat , the children's book by Karon, and At Home in Mitford , one of the Mitford series books. A host of Union County residents of all ages demonstrated their great variety of talents, enthusiasm, and dedication to present four performances of Scenes From Mitford and three of Miss Fannie's Hat . Local hat collectors displayed their collections of old and interesting hats to complement the theme of Miss Fannie's Hat . The public gave wonderful support by filling the seats for nearly every performance. All but one performance of these playlets was performed at the Stinson Library in Anna. The Friends of Stinson Library cooperated with P.A.S.T. in presenting the performances. They were given the opportunity to sell Jan Karon books and present the latest release as an additional fundraiser for the library in cooperation with Jan Karon and Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Carbondale.

THREE MILE CROSS In Miss Mitford s time, Three Mile Cross was separated from Reading and otherneighbouring Miss Mitfords writings recorded her first sighting of them, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villages/berks/three_mile_cross.htm
Extractions: OAS_AD('Top'); THREE MILE CROSS Mary Russel Mitford moved to Three Mile Cross with her parents on 5th April 1820. She described the village in her writings, thus: " A long, straggling, winding street, at the bottom of a fine eminence, with a road through it, always abounding in carts, horsemen, and carriages, and lately enlivened by a stage-coach ." The road through the village remained busy and its fate was sealed that it would continue so when the late 20th century motorway skirted the area. The shift to Three Mile Cross was not a joyous occasion for Mary, aged 32. The family was forced to leave Bertram House at Grazely because of financial woes due to her father's bad gambling habits. In the evening after leaving Grazely, she wrote in her diary " went to live in Mr. Body's cottage at The Cross. Very sorry to go. In a great skirmish all day long. Very uncomfortable indeed. " The modest cottage remained the family home and Mary herself lived there for a further 9 years until she moved closer to her long time friend Lady Russell at nearby Swallowfield for the last few years of her life. If it had not been for Dr. Mitford's extravagance and gambling passion, Three Mile Cross would probably not have become one of the most famous villages recorded. Mary had always kept a diary but it was not until she took responsibility for supporting her parents that she started producing the delightful works for which she gained fame.

Extractions: This volume was reviewed twice. According to Ward's Literary Reviews in British Periodicals , a review appeared in the Fireside Magazine for 1 Feb 1819, pp. 64-66. I was unable to locate a copy of this periodical. Neither is there information on this periodical in Alvin Sullivan's British Literary Magazines Below is the review from the New Monthly Magazine for 10 October, 1818. Note: Though this review purports to describe "Johnny Newcome in the Navy," the poem described sounds more like "The Adventures of a Post Captain," which has been attributed to "Alfred Thornton," leading me to believe that "Alfred Thornton" may have been a pen-name used by Mitford. It should also be noted that though the review attributes the poem to John Mitford, the poem was published under the name "Alfred Burton." Johnny Newcome in the Navy, a Poem

Extractions: Viking Press itford, North Carolina (pop. 1,000), nestled in a lush valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a turn-of-the-century creekside town where the air sparkles and flowers abound. Its residents are mostly decent, neighborly types whose lives are framed by the beauty and weather of the changing seasons and the recurrence of annual events. They care for one another, have little to do with the outside world, and resist change. Looking down from a hill on the town he loves, Father Timothy Kavanagh, the rector of Mitford's Episcopal Church, sees "a wide panorama of rich Flemish colors under a perfectly blue and cloudless sky," with ploughed farmland "like velveteen scraps on a quilt, feather-stitched with hedgerows." He calls it the Land of Counterpane.
