Orphan lamb

ORPHAN LAMB
by Ann Purser
Peggy Palmer at the post office stores watched as young Mandy and Robert Bates, newly married, run into tragedy and struggle. She sees the impact on the village when Nancy Bridget, blonde and leggy, arrives at the hall to take charge in the latest in the long line of Standings, and listens with amusement as Ivy, Ellen and Doris nick named 'the three witches of Ring ford', make their crabby comments on the village goings on. There is comedy, tragedy, joy and sorrow in this intimate community of a small English village.

Fifteen streets

FIFTEEN STREETS
by Catherine Cook son
When, John O'Brien fell in love with Mary Llewellyn, he knew there was a gulf between them that nothing could bridge. The gulf of the fifteen streets. Life in the fifteen streets was tough and it is a continual struggle for survival. Some families gave up and descended into a dismal state of constant poverty. Others like the O'Brien's fought grimly for a world they were only rarely allowed to glimpse.
