This book is the culmination of years of research by the author concerning stories centres around the East Midland Counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.It is rich in the everyday drama of ordinary people who lived in extraordindary times, of well meaning benefactors and of endearing eccentrics who added colour to an otherwise drab world.
The underlying theme of each story is the interconnection of bells for all occasions - whether wedding peals, hand bells, celebration chimes or the tolling of a funeral bell. Each bell highlights an almost forgotten story which is well worth the retelling. This is a book to dip into and enjoy.
