Frances steps off the train to find her brother Austin brown, restless and longing for company after leaving Allerton. Soon boys and girls are banding together into a club of adventurers, with photography outings, music and mumming, visits to Rowdon Smithy and the young Doctor Max, until bad news delivered by a stranger shakes the household.
A wholesome late-Victorian story of family, friendship and practical charity, for readers who enjoy L. T. Meade or Charlotte Yonge. Download the free EPUB.
