When Zoe greenhough was a child she took great delight in shaking the branches of a garden shrub in which bees had gathered by the hundred, until the bees buzzed in a cloud around her head.

Trust, gaiety, courage, and luck - for the bees never stung her- mark the life of Zoe Greenhough, which is told here by her husband, well-known writer Dennis MacEldowney.
