The Festival

Revisit the countryside for Book Three of the Sixpenny Bissett series. Bernie Beard, world famous rock star, moves into the village to escape his busy life touring with his band, The Dragons. Bernie is determined to reinvent himself as a country gentleman and the new leader of this tight-knit community. Is Sixpenny Bissett ready for such a huge rock star in their midst? Bernie’s bombastic character and complicated love life will spice up the sleepy hamlet. Joining forces with Richard Samuels, Bernie devises a plan to hold a music festival and village fair on the grounds of The Manor House. Will the community come together behind their ideas to raise money for a new cricket clubhouse or will this be a step too far for the village, where time has stood still for so long? The previous newcomer to Sixpenny Bissett, Jenni Sullivan, is building her place in the community as the café business goes from strength to strength. She has found love with local boatbuilder, Richard. However, the course of true love does not always run smoothly. Can Jenni and Richard find true love or will the past ruin their happiness? Having a ready-made family, with Jimmy and his daughter, Lily, sharing the house, will add to the pressures. Not forgetting, a very jealous cat.
