023 - The emigrant's return

from Doxie Dent · host John Ackworth

In the wake of his short story collections, Clog Shop Chronicles and Beckside Lights, John Ackworth brings the delightful escapades of clogger Jabez Clegg and his quirky Beckside friends to a thrilling conclusion with a novel. Enter Jabezs spirited niece, Doxie Dent, who has blossomed in the bustling streets of Lunnon. When she arrives in the quaint Lancashire village, her charming southern flair captivates the locals, but Jabez remains decidedly unimpressed. Join Phil Benson as he narrates this captivating tale of family, culture clash, and the joys of homecoming.
