This is the story of the Chilvers family who lived in Old Buckenham in the 19th century, as well as many who lived in neighbouring villages. The story covers rural life in Norfolk at the time, and encompasses at various points smuggling, a mysterious murder, Don Bradman, the Ian Paisley of the 1920s, the Duke of Wellington, debtor's prison and Captain Mainwaring.
Copies of the book can be ordered from http://www.lulu.com/uk/ Just enter "Chilvers" in the search box. |
