The Young Country Doctor Book 4: Bilbury Country

Bilbury Country is the fourth novel in a series set in the village of Bilbury, in Devon, England. The time is the 1970s, and the village still keeps to its old ways, somewhat cut off from the rest of the world. The story follows the familiar mix of villagers, along with the local doctor and his wife. When a newspaper article brings a steady trickle of visitors to the place, it quickly becomes a flood, and the villagers must adjust. Told with warm, gentle humour, the book is a light and affectionate portrait of country life, with its quirks and neighbourly bonds.
