The Patience Series

 

The Patience books form a shorter series, but I think a much more endearing one.  Patience is a character with considerable charm.  I’ve only read two of the books but I far prefer them to the Marjorie series (Marjorie causes me more problems than Guy!)  This series is not hideously rare, but can be expensive.

 

Jim Mackenzie has very kindly provided the synopses for this series, and I am very grateful.

 

My apologies for the lack of pictures: after a major computer crash I lost about 5% of my pictures, and these were among them.  If anyone can supply  pictures I would be very grateful!
