GOUDGE,ELIZABETH [ELIZABETH DE BEAUCHAMP GOUDGE] — The Castle on the Hill

London, Duckworth. 1942, 1st UK Edition. Hardcover. Book, It is the summer of 1940 and England is fighting for her life. In a rural corner of England the vagaries of war bring together a group of people wrestling the enemy within--fear, despair, loss of faith. A web of chance.. a fateful meeting in a London street.. A lost teddy bear.. the wrong train.. and the lives of four people were altered forever! A shy, middle-aged spinster was to find a new home and fall impossibly in love. An elderly street fiddler, bitter and lonely, was to take an unexpected train ride and encounter kindness from a total stranger. Two frightened children were to escape their terrors of wartime London and bring dramatic changes to the Castle on the Hill. 296p. Clean tight copy in fading blue cloth binding, some rubbing on extremities, spine slightly cocked. Very Good.
