Ring the Bell Backwards

by Sybil Marshall

Life in Old Swithinford continues in all its bustling activity Wherever there are people there is drama, especially in a small closed community. Fran and William Burbage seem to be at the centre of everyone else's crises. Not that they don't have worries enough of their own. William is fretting about the novelisation of his and Bob Bellamy's historical discovery, while Fran finds her spare time vanishing as her good sense, kindness and sympathy are called on by her friends and neighbours in Old Swithinford.

Lovely series, only minus is that Sybil Marshall didn't get to write more.
