The novel that welcomed us into the wonderful world of Mitford!

The Mitford Series by Jan Karon

At Home in Mitford (Book 1)

A Light in the Window (Book 2)

These High, Green Hills (Book 3)

Out to Canaan (Book 4)

A New Song (Book 5)

A Common Life (Book 6) [fits chronologically between books 2 and 3]

In This Mountain (Book 7)

Shepherds Abiding (Book 8)

Light from Heaven (Book 9)

Home to Holly Springs (Book 10)

In the Company of Others (Book 11)

Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good (Book 12)

Come Rain or Come Shine (Book 13)

To Be Where You Are (Book 14)

Note: A Common Life was published sixth, but it fits chronologically between the second and third novels. Home to Holly Springs and In the Company of Others were originally envisioned as part of a separate three-book “Father Tim series.” However, Jan didn’t write the third book, and eventually these two became considered part of the main Mitford series. They fit in the chronological flow of the story and should not be skipped.

The audio editions are absolutely delightful. Most of them are available on Audible. Secondhand CDs of earlier books are usually very expensive, but I’m including the links in case some reasonable prices ever show up in the Amazon Marketplace.

  1. I wonder why all the books from The Mitford Series are not on Kindle. Some books in the series can only be purchased in book form. This is difficult for me as I have vision challenges (legally blind, but can read on a Kindle). These books are not on Audible and, even if they were, Kindle is better and more relaxing as I have two cochlear implants. I love these books and, I am sure, there must be other people in my situation. I have all the books in large print – some it is possible to read – but it’s tiring. Some are in paperback and the quality of the paper makes reading them impossible. I have, of course, purchased all the eBooks. I live in Australia, but these books cannot be purchased in the US either.

    It would be wonderful if all these books could be uploaded to eBooks.

    Just for information. Warm regards, Jen

  2. Jen, thanks so much for commenting. All 14 of the Mitford novels are on Kindle. I own all of them on Kindle, and they’re all still listed on Amazon. I wonder if somehow the Kindle editions aren’t available in Australia. Most of them are also available on Audible. So many things like this depend on the mysterious details of publishing contracts, which readers never know about. I’m so glad you love these books and hope they become available in more formats for you. Mary Jo

  3. Thank you Mary Jo – I do think you are correct on the ways and means of publishers’ rights in different countries. Please let me know if, in your travels, you hear more about these books being obtainable as eBooks in Australia. Many thanks! Jen
