Chronicles of a Curate

About this book

This is an excellent value omnibus edition of the first three books in Fred Secombes entertaining and nostalgic series. It is comprised of: How Green Was My Curate A Curate for All Seasons and Goodbye Curate. Set in sleepy Welsh valleys at the close of the Second World War the books cover the period of Freds curacy in the village of Pontywen -- from inauspicious but hilarious beginnings (he falls flat on his face at his first service) through his courtship and marriage to young doctor Eleanor to the point where he becomes a vicar. Quirky memorable characters abound in these extremely likeable and humorous stories.
