Lucas offers eleven stories for children: a girl whose good nature lands her in endless trouble, the adventures of a thousand threepenny bits, a monkey’s revenge, the Miss Bannisters’ brother, a pair of anti-burglars, Sir Franklin and the little mothers, and the true story of Speke’s search for the source of the Nile.
