Poppies for England

A warm-hearted story with a theatrical background set in 1946 with many feeling the aftershock of war. Rationing is still in place and prisoners of war are returning home only to find their families almost strangers. Two such families, old friends with diverse theatrical talents, join forces to provide the concert party for the summer season in a seaside holiday camp. In this 'gay and cheerful' book, hidden talents emerge, romances struggle and blossom, jealousies and artistic temperaments are overcome as the families find happiness once more. "Peace was creeping back into the world, and into the heart." Originally published in 1947.
