Tall Chimneys by Allie Cresswell

One woman, one house, one hundred years.

It is outmoded and inconvenient but Evelyn is determined to save it from the fate of so many stately homes at the time – abandonment or demolition.

Available to buy now from Amazon. There are a small number of copies, signed by the author Allie Cresswell and the artist Sarah Reid available. Email: sarah@redrawstudios.co.uk
