Mrs Fox Goes<br />
To War<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chronicles of Little Hope<br />
1939 - 1945<br />
Villager of the Month<br />
Victoria Cross, SOE agent.<br />
A master (or indeed mistress) of disguise,<br />
Ms Cross resigned from her<br />
post as the librarian of Little Hope<br />
(there was only so much you could<br />
do with six books) in early 1941 and<br />
headed for 64 Baker Street. Although<br />
Churchill’s habit of referring to her as<br />
‘That funny fellow, Bunny’ was a bit<br />

Hilda Ffinch<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bird with all the answers<br />
Hilda Ffinch, Little Hope’s very own Agony<br />
Aunt (page 5 of the Little Hope Herald) was<br />
easily bored and terribly rich. She loved<br />
nothing better than taking on the problems<br />
of others and either sorting them out or<br />
claiming that she’d never heard of them if<br />
it all went tits up and they had to leave the<br />
district under cover of darkness having followed<br />
her sage advice.<br />
