Crab Apples

The Last Lady De'Ath is determined to keep her estates and villages as they have been for centuries. Her lion and tiger are not going anywhere either. She eventually theoretically sells out to a company that tells her they want to buy up historic sites, but all is not what it seems on the surface, neither in the villages nor in the company. Battle lines are drawn at the Village Fete and war is waged in the High Court. The village and Lady De'Ath emerge triumphant as victory is based on hidden skills and by not judging books by their covers.
