Mrs. Tim Carries On by D E Stevenson

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.

Dorothy Emily Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1892 to a prominent Scottish family, her father being David Alan Stevenson, a lighthouse engineer and Robert Louis Stevenson's first cousin. Major James Reid Peploe (nephew of the artist Samuel Peploe) married her in 1916. They settled in Glasgow after the First World War and raised two sons and a daughter. Dorothy authored her first novel in the 1920s, and by the 1930s, she had become a popular author, selling more than seven million volumes over the course of her career. Among her many best-selling books was a series starring the well-known Mrs.

Tim is a British Army officer's wife. In her beautiful, funny, and well-observed works, the author frequently returned to Scotland and Scottish themes. Dorothy Stevenson and her husband moved to Moffat, Scotland, during World War II. The majority of her later works were written here.
