Orphan Lamb (1996)

by Ann Purser
(#4 in Round Ringford)

Peggy Palmer at the Post Office Stores watched as young Mandy and Robert Bates, newly married, run into tragedy and struggle. She sees the impact on the village when Nancy Bridget, blonde and leggy, arrives at the Hall to take charge in the latest in the long line of Standings, and listens with amusement as Ivy, Ellen and Doris, nicknamed 'the three witches of Ringford', make their crabby comments on the village goings-on. There is comedy, tragedy, joy and sorrow in this intimate community of a small English village.
