About This Book
A lively circle of ten sisters inhabits a neglected Elizabethan house at the edge of the New Forest, spending summers in outdoor play, domestic schemes, and affectionate rivalry while their bemused father tries to maintain order. The arrival of a formal, intervening relative threatens the girls' freedom and prompts a series of comic manoeuvres, tests of loyalty, and moments of gentle self-discovery. Episodes alternate between spirited adventures among the woods and quieter scenes of family tension and reconciliation, sketched with warmth, humor, and close attention to the habits and friendships that shape growing girls.
