I love D. E. Stevenson's books. My first introduction to her work was the hilarious Miss Buncle's Book. Her Dering Family Series (a trilogy) is probably my favorite of her work that I've read so far. I was intrigued to learn that D. E. Stevenson's father is cousin to Robert Louis Stevenson. Love making all those connections in my reading. Blessings to you and yours!
Love all the Mrs. Tims! I read them throughout a postpartum about 5 years ago. Being reminded of them now makes me want to go back and reread them. Being in the middle of Patricia Anne and Mary Alice land, of course I'll have to wait. Not a big sacrifice.
Similar but a bit more old fashioned and definitely dry humorwise are the "Dairy of a Provincial Lady" series by E.M. Delafield. (What is it with the two-initial women's writers in England?)
So happy for you to have had that wonderful getaway. Sláinte!

Miss Buncle was my introduction to her as well. I must re-read those, I enjoyed them so much. God bless you and yours as well.

I will look into the E.M. Delafield books, those are new to me.
I hope you are enjoying the Southern Sisters, it's one of my favorite comfort reads. I often go back to them when I need a laugh.
Have a great day!
