......stories that endure......

 


D.E. Stevenson catalogue
romantic fiction

updated 24th June 2010



Gentle, humorous stories about ordinary people doing ordinary things, people whom you'd like to know.
Very English with country settings, sometimes WW2, with our heroine doing her best.
I've loved them since being introduced to Amberwell at the age of ten.
