Title: Annals Of A Little Shop
Description: This is another of Anne Hepple's delightful Border stories. Prue Selbourne is a plucky and resourceful woman. Her husband's income dwindled to almost nothing, but Aunt Ellen died and left her little shop at Ewebriggs to her niece. Prue leaped at the opportunity, and flitted to the new abode with her husband and two small children. It was a neighbourly, sociable little shop, and surprising stories passed across its counter. "That's the best of being a shopkeeper," said Prue: " one hears all the news." The shop was the centre of everything, and many tragedies and comedies were played out in the village surrounding it, all of which Anne Hepple has recounted in her witty and pleasant style.
