Two Queens at the Abbey
eBook
(Reading Essentials June 4, 2020)
Joy's twins Elizabeth and Margaret are growing up to be a little spoiled and self-centred. At school they are chosen as Queens of the hamlet club and they learn to be responsible and to think of others first. Littlejan Fraser (Marigold) returns as a senior cookery student and lives at the Hall with the twins. Rosalind Kane (aka nanta Rose) gets married at Kentisbury, the twins and Jansy are bridesmaids.
In the school for well-off young ladies there is a sweet tradition of crowning a schoolgirl queen on May Day and she takes the name of a flower and wears a colourful dress. Thus begins the premise of this last and final installment of the Abbey Series.
