TANSY
Book Description ‘Dr Brown called a meeting. “I would like some volunteers to go into the woods with me. We would of course have to take all sorts of precautions. We will cover ourselves with masks and gloves and some old clothes. We will leave a change of clothes at the edge of the woods and throw away the old ones so that we won’t bring the plague back to the village.”’ While this novel recreates the terrifying times of the plague and the great fire of London, the chief interest centres around the affectionate, vulnerable yet resourceful young woman, Tansy, who brings alive the past era with disarming humanity. The fair-haired, blue-eyed heiress, cheated out of her inheritance, nevertheless wins the hearts of the common people and the heir of a Scottish estate.
