Why did The Brown Valley come to be known as The Happy Valley? Had it anything to do with what the abbess said to the young women and young men from the valley that came to the abbess for a blessing on their marriage? And how did the abbess know the things which she said to those who came to her; and also, how do we know what the abbess said to them? Some, but not all of these questions are answered in this book. | The Sunlit Uplands by Hugo Thomas, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
