The attractive town of Caxley became prosperous through its connection with the wool trade, and on market day it is a hive of activity as the townspeople and neighboring villagers from Fairacre, Beech Green, and Bent come to shop, chat and watch the world go by. Families have lived here for generations, but it is the story of the Norths and the Howards in particular which is told in this delightful book. The Howards of Caxley begins on a fine May morning in the fateful year of 1939, and follows the path of the two families and the little town through the Second World War, towards hope for happier times ahead.
