One of England's best-loved children's book writers spins a fantasy
adventure with animals, magic, and danger. When Nan, Robert,
Timothy, and Betsy's father went off to explore in Egypt, he left
the children with their grandmother who lived in the English
countryside. Unfortunately she did not much like children, much
less their dog, Absalom. So the children ran away to stay with
their Uncle Ambrose, an eccentric, strict, and loveable retired
school teacher who was determined to give them an Education, but in
addition to Greek, Latin, and Literature, the Linnet children
learned much more -- about nature and magic, the power of the past
and Pan, and, of course, the importance of the bees. They used
their knowledge to find the lost Valerians, undo some very wicked,
ancient spells, and reunite a divided family. This is a story
filled with Elizabeth Goudge's trademark mixture of realism and
magic -- and like her classic The Little White Horse (adored by J.
K. Rowling) it is set in Devon and inspired by its folklore and
legends. A wonderful chapter book for fantasy-loving independent
readers.
