In the style of O Douglas/D E Stevenson

I'm looking for a comfortable, cheerful book to read. I love Susan Scarlett, O Douglas and D E Stevenson. I think I actually started reading Stevenson after a recommendation on here. Could anyone recommend something similar?

Not as cheerful as DE Stevenson but novels by Barbara Pym, Richmal Crompton and AJ Cronin roll along nicely. The Tortoise and the Hare by Eilizabeth Jenkins is amusing.

I love Mrs Tim too :) O Douglas is probably the most similar in style.

Can't help but I'm a fan of Mrs Tim and would be keen to try the two other authors.
