    About this ebook

    It is 1947 and England has just survived the Second World War and one of the worst winters on record.

    At Oxlade Hall the Deverill family resume their lives whilst Uncle Harry at a weekend house party announces that he has been selected to head an archaeological excavation in Egypt.

    As Queen Meritamen gives up her secrets, events unfold in the East, events that will ultimately change their lives for ever.

    Author

    Jan Cheal

    The world's bee population is in serious decline with disastrous consequences for our food chain and something that everyone needs to be aware of. The Bee Keepers is a novel, fictional but factual, as it explores this problem. As a late student in life it was not until I was 46 that I attained a BA (Hons) degree in Humanities as well as a Diploma in European Humanities. I am retired and live at home in Surrey where I follow a number of interests from history to cookery and the environment.
