The storyline of Miss Buncle's Book (1934) is a simple one: Barbara
Buncle, who is unmarried and perhaps in her late 30s, lives in a
small village and writes a novel about it in order to try and
supplement her meagre income. This is a light-hearted, easy read,
one of those books like Mariana, Miss Pettigrew, The Making of a
Marchioness and Greenery Street which can be recommended
unreservedly to anyone looking for something undemanding, fun and
absorbing that is also well-written and intelligent. DE Stevenson
had an enormously successful writing career: between 1923 and 1970,
four million copies of her books were sold in Britain and three
million in the States. Like EF Benson, Ann Bridge, O Douglas or
Dorothy L Sayers (to name but a few) her books are funny, intensely
readable, engaging and dependable. Miss Buncle's Book was the most
popular of her novels because it has a completely original plot and
a charming and delightful central character.
