Miss Read (1913-2012) was the pseudonym of Mrs. Dora Saint, a former schoolteacher beloved for her novels of English rural life, especially those set in the fictional villages of Thrush Green and Fairacre.

In the 1998, she was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, for her services to literature.
