description: Annabel Brown has taken a job in the sewing room at Bertna's a high-end dressmaker to help her family's finances. When one of the mannequins employed downstairs quits unexpectedly Tania Petoff the shop's owner decides to try lovely Annabel in her place to the chagrin of her catty fellow models. Annabel's improved status leads to tension in her close-knit family then (following a wardrobe malfunction) she catches the eye of wealthy Lord David de Bett-and the ire of the dreadful Honourable Octavia Glaye. How things work themselves out is as delicious a bit of frothy fun as one could well imagine.Clothes-Pegs is the first of twelve charming page-turning romances published under the pseudonym Susan Scarlett by none other than beloved children's author and novelist Noel Streatfeild. Out of print for decades they were rediscovered by Greyladies Books in the early 2010s and Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow are delighted now to make all twelve available to a wider audience.
