In Frank E. Emmott and Marjorie Charnwood's Good Angels in Harness (1939), a whimsical tale of benevolent mischief unfolds in the sleepy English village of Willowbrook. When straitlaced spinster Agnes Primrose inherits her late uncle's crumbling manor, she discovers his secret: a cadre of "good angels"—eccentric locals disguised as mythical guardians—tasked with righting wrongs under the cover of night. From foiling a scheming developer's land grab to mending fractured romances with anonymous gifts, Agnes joins the harnessed horde, donning wings and halos for capers that blend farce and folklore.
As village scandals brew—a pilfered heirloom, a jilted bride's revenge—the angels' antics escalate, drawing the ire of bumbling Constable Higgs and awakening Agnes's dormant spirit. With Emmott and Charnwood's light touch of 1930s humor and heart, this collaborative romp celebrates community as the truest halo, proving even the most harnessed good can soar.
