Jack is the only boy in the family, and he tells this veracious history of himself and his sisters Anne and Serena. A lost diamond ornament, a summons for the town-crier, a dancing class, hide-and-seek that goes too far, and a frightening illness fill out a year of family life, all seen with a boy’s mixture of exasperation and loyalty.
A warm Victorian family story with illustrations by L. Leslie Brooke, suited to young readers and nostalgic adults. Download the free EPUB.
