Description
Containing in one volume:
Towers in the mist;
Set in Elizabethan times, Faithful, a poor Londoner, heads for Oxford. He’s bright, cheeky and good-looking, has a tremendous love of learning and hopes to be an Oxford scholar.
City of bells;
Jocelyn Irvin, after gaining distinction in the Army, is retired home with a wounded leg. Having no plans for the future he decides to go and stay awhile with his grandfather, Canon Fordyce of Torminster.
The Dean’s watch;
Set in a Cathedral city in the 1870s, a remote town dominated by the great cathedral and its formidable Dean Adam Ayscough, who holds a deep love for his parishioners and townspeople. But the craggy, homely old Dean, lived locked in by shyness… when an obscure watchmaker, the timid, fearful little Isaac Peabody, a genius of a clockmaker, strikes up an unlikely friendship with the Dean. It leads to an unusual spiritual awakening in both men, and this unexpected friendship of these two men; also leads the Dean’s remarkable awakening to the healing force of unselfish love; and the miracles wrought as he reached out to other human hearts to console them. It eventually reaches out to the entire community. And in the background there are Polly and her beloved Job, Bella and old Mrs Montague.
