Mrs Caldicot's Knickerbocker Glory

'Sequels have a tendency to fall flat - not so in this sequel to Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War. It's a humorous tale but has a deeper significance as the oldies battle with authority, adversity, greed and spite with hope in their hearts. It's sure to go down well with older readers. Smartly written, a comedy that sets you thinking, and uplifting too.' - Chester Chronicle <br />'A light hearted comedic novel with a serious message.
