About This Book
Two young siblings sent from abroad come to live with four unmarried aunts in an English country house; their lively mischief and delicate health prompt both worry and fond indulgence. The narrative follows their small adventures around the estate—stairs races, garden explorations, encounters with local neighbours and an elderly gardener with cherished flower pots—while seasonal gardening and domestic scenes unfold. Episodes combine simple observations of bulbs and blossoms with gentle themes of recovery, curiosity, and the quiet pleasures of rural life.
