Spring Magic by D E Stevenson

Spring Magic by D E Stevenson

Frances Field arrives in a scenic coastal village in Scotland, having escaped her aunt and uncle's dull London townhouse, where she is treated as little more than a servant. Here, she encounters an array of eccentric locals, the occasional roar of enemy planes overhead, and three army wives - Elise, Tommy and Tillie - who become fast friends. Elise warns Frances of the discomforts of military life, but she's inclined to disregard the advice when she meets the dashing Captain Guy Tarlatan - whose affections are elsewhere engaged. And there's the nearby spring, said to have strange powers; legend has it that anyone who drinks its water will be married within a year.

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.
