Doxie Dent

by John Ackworth

Doxie Dent is a young woman who has grown up in London. When she arrives in the small Lancashire village where her uncle, Jabez Clegg, is a clog maker, she delights the villagers with her southern ways. However, Jabez is not so easily impressed. He is a traditionalist who believes that women should know their place. Doxie's arrival challenges his beliefs and forces him to confront his own prejudices.
