Vintage 1956 Book Club Edition of The Half-Crown House by Helen Ashton, published by Dodd, Mead & Company, New York.
Set in the English countryside, this touching novel tells the story of the Hornbeam family and their ancestral home — an old manor filled with history, heirlooms, and memories of the past. Facing financial hardship, the family opens their estate to visitors for a half-crown admission, leading to unexpected revelations and a deeper connection to their heritage.
Helen Ashton (author of Doctor Serocold, The Fire and the Hammer, and The Swan of Usk) paints an elegant picture of changing times and the enduring charm of English country life.
