The scent of the countryside

"Doris Gawrys has such fond memories of her childhood home that she dedicates this memoir to the house 'Pengelly' in Rayleigh, Essex. With its white roses by the door, working well and dragonfly ponds, Pengelly was a playground for Doris, her cousin Mollie and brother Bobby, who was born in the house . Though still very young when the family moved again, she has never forgotten those days."--Publisher description.
