Evensong: Omnibus Edition: Tales from Beechbourne, Chickmarsh, & the Woolfonts

GMW Wemyss, historian, West Country essayist, poet, critic, scholar, and annotator of Kipling and of Kenneth Grahame, lives (wisely pseudonymously) in Wiltshire, and is the chronicler of the doings in The Woolfonts, England’s most superficially placid and chocolate-box villages (with their tales): where anything may happen save the expected, and, after fire and flood and All Sorts, things do tend to turn up trumps in the end, by unexpected means. (Means commonly effected by the crafty duke of Taunton - and the admirable Mr Viney his butler -, the saintly young Rector, and their friends.)
