Samenvatting:

This book is a collection of three novels and a short story by Cecilia Peartree, all previously published and featuring the same central characters.
'A Romantic Quest' is an introductory short story about Oliver Quest and Flora Murray, and was published in the anthology 'Hearts and Arrows' and in 'Five Short Stories' by Cecilia Peartree.
'The Lion and Unicorn Quest' is a novel set in 1951 at the time of the Festival of Britain. The plot revolves around the theft of a painting and Oliver's attempts to recover it, with or without Flora's help.
'The Four Seasons Quest' is a novel set in 1952. It starts with two unrelated deaths, and ends with a train crash that occurred towards the end of the year. Oliver discovers a new career and Flora comes a step closer to resolving issues from her past.
'The Coronation Quest', set in 1953, starts with the great storm of January that year and ends with the Coronation itself. By that time Oliver and Flora have connected a series of apparently random events and caught up with a traitor at the heart of the secret service.
