Mrs. Tim Carries On by D E Stevenson

Bestselling author D. E. Stevenson's charming fictional alter-ego, Hester Christie - or Mrs Tim as she is affectionately known to friends of her military husband - was first introduced to readers in Mrs Tim Of The Regiment, published in 1932. In 1941, Stevenson brought Mrs Tim back in this delightful sequel, to lift spirits and boost morale in the early days of World War I. With her husband stationed in France, Hester finds plenty to keep her busy on the Home Front. From her first air raid and a harrowing but hilarious false alarm about a German invasion, to volunteering at the regiment's Comforts Depot, guiding the romantic destinies of her pretty houseguest and an injured soldier, and making a flying visit to a blacked-out, slightly bedraggled London with its fighting spirit intact, Mrs Tim does indeed carry on - in inimitable style.

Among her many best-selling books was a series starring the well-known Mrs.
