Never before published, this charming story was originally written in 1937, when it was thought to be 'too old-fashioned' to appeal to the modern market. Jane Fortune casuses a stir when she arrives in Dingleton to open a tea-room. Charles and Harold both fall for the newcomer, but her behaviour seems to vary wildly - she encourages first one then the other, and at other times barely recognises them. A warm-hearted romance of English village life. This edition also contains fascinating letters about the book from D. E. Stevenson to her agent and her publisher.
