Publisher's Synopsis
A novel rich in the period culture of the Lake District, 'Forest Silver' unfolds a story of village life unsettled with the arrival of evacuees during the Second World War.

First published in 1941, 'Forest Silver' is an important work of Lake District fiction, in which E.M. Ward evokes her environment with pitch-perfect authenticity.
