To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Orchard in Dispute — Sister Marguerite has not seen the orchard in Burgundy in twenty-two years, since before she entered the convent at Auxerre, and when she comes over the hill in 1190 she cannot find it. Her brother Edouard's letter said he was dying and asked her to come about the bequest. The orchard is gone — converted to a field, the trees taken out — and a legal claim on the field would cost a year of fighting and produce money she has no use for.
