Celia's House by D Stevenson

Celia's House by D Stevenson

There's no place like home

Celia Dunne may be an old spinster, but she's no fool. She knows that changing her will to leave the grand family estate, Dunnian, to her grand-nephew will ruffle feathers within the family. But Celia also knows that Dunnian has stood solemn and empty for far too long, and she intends for that to change after she's gone. Humphrey's children will turn the creaky old house back into a family home-just the way it was meant to be.

As Humphrey's young family grows and expands within the walls of Dunnian, the house seems to welcome them with warmth and a wonderful feeling of belonging. Following the Dunnes through youthful antics, merry parties, heartbreaks, love, and marriages, Celia's House is an enchanting family novel that begs to be read and savored over and over again.

Celia's House is another heartwarming tale from D.E. Stevenson, beloved author of Miss Buncle's Book

Finding a re-issued D.E. Stevenson novel is like finding a Tiffany lamp at Woolworth's.

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.
