Blurb: Now that April's there is the story of the Turners, of Oxford, England. But they might just as well be the Turners of Council Bluffs, Iowa, or the Turners of Portland, Oregon, or of Skowhegan, Main. So natural and lovable are they that the reader feels their geographic placement is merely a matter of literary accident. Professor Turner, dreamy Oxford don, and his earnest, well-meaning wife, are charming exponents of the "should be" school. Their gradual re-education to the "as is" school by their amazingly mature youngsters--Wincy, fifteen, and Angus, nine--returned to England after five war years with an American family in Massachusetts makes superb reading for all ages.
