GOUDGE, ELIZABETH — The Dean's Watch

London, Coronet/ Hodder & Stoughton. 1993, Reprint. (ISBN: 0340005661) Pbk. Ill.: A.R.Whitear. Book, "An English Cathedral town in the mid nineteenth century forms the background for the warm and gentle story of Issac Peabody, an obscure clockmaker, a dreamer, but a dedicated craftsman, and of Adam Ayscough, the brilliant, pious Dean of the Cathedral, whose great love for his parishioners is stifled by his own unconquerable shyness.through Isaac and Adam the strange healing force of unselfish love is revealed with its power to alter and redeem the lives of all whom it touches." An exceptionally crisp copy, almost as new but for a tiny scuff on back cover where a price sticker was removed. Fine.
