Another good mystery writer was Margery Allingham..her main detective is Albert Campion - BBC did a series of episodes which have been shown on PBS here in USA.
So many good ones!
Oh, YES, Elizabeth Goudge:
Pilgrims Inn, Green Dolphin Street, The White Witch, The Dean's Watch and The Scent of Water . The last is one of my all time favorite novels.
YES!!!! The Scent of Water is also one of my all-time favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love all the ones about the Eliots. And how in the world is Damerosehay pronounced? Brits, can you help us here?
