Spring Fever

A novel

Lord Shortlands wants to marry his cook, as does the butler, but can't raise the ante to leave Beevor Castle and buy a pub - his eldest daughter holds the purse and she would not approve. Second daughter Clare has sent his hat to a jumble sale and has brought playwright Cosmo Blair to the Castle. It's only the presence of his youngest, Lady Theresa, that keeps his Lordship going.

Enter Mike Cardinal, in love with Theresa, Stanwood Cobbold, a drinker and spiller of beans, an ex-burglar named Robb and a valuable stamp.

A tale of misunderstandings, rivals in love and double-cross. Any resemblance to a Blandings Castle tale is purely to our benefit. Worth hunting out.
