Miss Buncle's book, 'Persephone Book No. 81', is about a woman who writes a novel about Silverstream, the village where she lives, under the pseudonym John Smith, and is then involved in the comedy as her neighbours try to discover the identity of the viper in their midst. Eventually she is forced to leave, and having married her publisher Arthur Abbott, moves to his house in Hampstead. The Abbotts then moveout of London, which is when 'Miss Buncle married' begins. Early on, Arthur thinks: "But I really hope, in a way, that [Barbara] won't want to write... because this place is delightful - simply charming - and if she starts writing about our neighbours, we shall most probably have to leave Wendlebury - just as she had to leave Silverstream - in a hurry"
