    About this series

    Bestselling author D. E. Stevenson’s charming fictional alter-ego, Hester Christie — or “Mrs Tim” as she is affectionately known to friends of her military husband — was first introduced to readers in Mrs Tim of the Regiment, published in 1932. In 1941, Stevenson brought Mrs Tim back in this delightful sequel, to lift spirits and boost morale in the early days of World War II. With her husband stationed in France, Hester finds plenty to keep her busy on the Home Front.

      With husband Tim stationed in Egypt and her children at boarding school, Hester Christie —affectionately known as “Mrs Tim” and based loosely on D. E. Stevenson herself — finds herself at a loose end, until her friend Grace takes her at her word and finds her a job with the formidable Erica Clutterbuck, who has opened a new hotel in the Scottish Borders. Once there, Hester’s initial ambivalence disappears in a swirl of problems and situations with hotel guests and old friends alike, including serving as fortune teller at the local fête and aiding and abetting romantic schemes, not to mention the reappearance of the debonair Tony Morley.

      Hester Christie has spent a blissful 18 months living in Kenya where husband Tim is posted. But now it’s back to England to be with her two nearly-grown children. She rents a house near the village of Old Quinings in England’s North Country, and plans a quiet summer with the children near the inn owned by her beloved former maid Annie and her husband. But things are never quiet for long with Mrs Tim, and she must navigate curious neighbours, a dishonest landlady, and a troublesome travel companion who makes an unwelcome appearance in Old Quinings, not to mention some intrigue and a bit of matchmaking for young lovers.
