Burton, Hester
Time of trial / Hester Burton; illustrated by Victor G. Ambrus [A]. -- London : Oxford University Press (OUP), 1965

The time, 1801; the place, Holly Lane, in the dark little bookshop in the shadow of St. Paul's. This bookshop, with its musty smell of old leather bindings and parchment in ink, is Margaret Pargeter's home; and her father's books and his bookselling are her life -or so they were, until one day disaster struck Holly Lane. It was a disaster that unleashed a tide of anger against the social conditions of the time, and a flood of trouble for the Pargeter family.
