In the High Valley / Being the fifth and last volume of the Katy Did series

A group leaves an old Devon house and crosses to America, where their arrival in a high, secluded valley sets the scene for domestic rearrangements and social adjustments. Travel episodes and witty conversations highlight contrasts between English and American manners, leading to comic misunderstandings and cultural boasting. As they establish a new household, unexpected events alter relationships and demand compromises, while the community around them slowly takes shape. The narrative weaves landscape description and everyday detail to examine adaptation, ties of loyalty, and the balance between clinging to tradition and embracing fresh opportunities in a new rural setting.
