A novel by the author of "Kate of Clyve Shore", "Owen Oliver", "The Dandelion Seed", "The Inn on the Marsh", "Lady Penelope", and "Down in our Street".
The Malted Shovel, exuberant heart and soul of Hollingbury Hamlet, buzzed with talk while the ale flowed - talk of the romance between Lucinda and Joe Lee, of the Crimea and the terror of Napoleon. At the tavern, hard-headed Beatrice and her sister Dot care for their invalid father and for Lucinda, their pretty orphaned niece. The inn is their livelihood but village business is ever Beat's business too. And now some dark cloud has descended on them all.
