"Readers who have traveled to Mitford with Jan Karon will find the trip to Lumby at least as pleasant and marked with a lot more laughter. If the world of cozy fiction has a capital, it's Lumby. Although I hesitate using the overused word "charming," it most definitely applies to The Promise of Lumby and its three predecessors. Gail Fraser tells wonderful stories that have kindness at their core -- and are a gentle reminder of the goodness in people's hearts. The Promise of Lumby, like the first three in the series, is a book I'll save to read again and again." --- Cozy Library April 2009

"A visit to the charming, whimsical town of Lumby is a refreshing change from our fast-paced lives...Lumby's Bounty is a delightful read."
