ABOUT THIS BOOK! Written in 1934, this book stands the test of time. It was a fun, farce of a book. A book about an author, who wrote a book, about her fellow towns folks, and the towns folks get up in arms. But they dont know Miss BUNCLE wrote the book. Very fun.

Worth your time to read. See the blurb above to read more about the plot.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR.
D. E. Stevenson (1892â1973) ... married name Dorothy Emily Peploe ... was a Scottish author of light romantic novels. Her father was the lighthouse engineer David Alan Stevenson, first cousin to the author Robert Louis Stevenson.

Many of Stevenson's novels were set in the Scottish borders. Major characters in books can appear as minor characters in other books creating a network of information in the universe of her books.

Stevenson's main characters are predominantly from the upper-middle classes, though the minor characters are from all walks of life.

2009 saw a renewed interest in Stevenson's books with the reissue of two of her most popular novels, Mrs. Tim of the Regiment (from Bloomsbury) and Miss Buncle's Book (from Persephone Books).
