Fire in the Punchbowl

Fire in the Punchbowl

"Fire In The Punchbowl" is a 1965 children's book by the English writer Monica Edwards, set at Punch Bowl Farm in Surrey.

It may be seen as the writer's personal statement of fear about changing farming methods and, perhaps, the "white heat of technology" of the Harold Wilson government. It is radically different in its atmosphere from most of her earlier works.
