A romantic and comic gem from a precocious Victorian nine-year-old
that has charmed readers for a century The Young Visiters is a
comic masterpiece that has delighted generations of readers since
it was first published in 1919. A classic story of life and love in
later Victorian England as seen from the nursery window, it was
written in 1890 by nine-year-old Daisy Ashford. It all starts when
Alfred Salteena, who is 'not quite the right side of the blanket',
takes young Ethel Montacue to stay with his friend Bernard
Clarke... Daisy Ashford has an exquisite eye for matchmaking and
manners in English society, and her tale, with its hilarious
observation and idiosyncratic spelling, is as irresistible today as
it ever was. This edition of The Young Visiters is illustrated with
drawings by Posy Simmonds which are as enchanting and witty as the
story. The text has been transcribed from the original manuscript
and includes J.M. Barrie's famous preface to the first edition.
