question: can The Small House at Allington be read as a stand alone without reading the others in that series?

Becky said...

DesLily, yes, I think it can. While characters from previous books make cameo appearances in this one, they're very small--very minor--roles. Most of the characters are new anyway, so it would be perfectly okay to start here.
