A Village In A Valley: Beverley Nichols

Book III of the Allways chronicle. Having taken his readers down the garden path and over his thatched roof, Beverley Nichols now takes on for a walk through the village of Allways '...a very tiny village in the quietest county of England. It is the story of doors opening and shutting on empty lanes, of smoke ascending into tranquil skies, of whispers about nothing borne on the winds over wide fields and broad brooks.' Yet even in such sylvan contentment there are many adventures, many country thrills, village rumours and of course, dramas - some of which are sad, more are hilarious but all are unforgettable.
