As ripples from the Great Depression reach a cosy English village, Barbara Buncle finds an inventive way to supplement her meagre income. Life in Silverstream will never be the same once her thinly fictionalised novel has laid bare the life, loves and eccentricities of her neighbours.

Attendance is compulsory as Mrs Featherstone-Hogg hosts a meeting of Silverstream worthies, determined to root out the troublesome author in their midst.

Scottish author D.E. Stevenson was a prolific name in the light romantic fiction genre, topping best seller lists from the 1930s to the 1960s. MISS BUNCLE鈥橲 BOOK, her best-known publication, is a delight; funny, engaging and well worth rediscovering 50 years after the author鈥檚 death.
