Produktbeschreibung
Having completed my first book, 'The Old Gatehouse', set on the Caiston Manor Estate in the early nineteen twenties, this sequel takes the Barnes family into fenland for a wedding at Beeley Cathedral - not unlike the one found in Ely. As the family expands, there are a whole host of new experiences, including encounters with a mysterious presence, a fire and a hilarious weekend at 'The Cat and Fiddle'! As the Estate begins to recover from the effects of The Great War, one of the tenants tries to pick her life up again with an unexpected outcome, and there are some worrying happenings when an old adversary causes trouble. On a lighter note, the domestic situation in the 'Old Gatehouse' carries on much the same, apart from havoc in the kitchen, caused by the youngest member of the family! Another warm and entertaining read from the pen of nonagenarian Stanley Scott. Of 'The Old Gatehouse' readers said: 'This very readable and enjoyable book transported me back to a different time and is the perfect antidote to modern life.' 'I really enjoyed this debut novel... In many ways a sweet, old-fashioned feel-good book, but with some punchy moments.' 'A book to read in bed - it will not give you nightmares!'

He remained there until his retirement twenty five years later. From then on, he spent most of his time engaged in DIY and six years ago became interested in model trains. He began writing in 2019, and now at the age of 97, has just completed this, his second book.
