Lonely and forlorn after their mother's death and their sudden
arrival at Aunt Mabel's seaside boarding-house, John, Mary and Ben
Mallory are unimpressed with their new life in England. But there
are wonderful surprises in store for them when they discover a
secret way into the grand and empty house next door. Soon all sorts
of unexpected events will unfold as the siblings encounter a whole
host of eccentric characters and happenings. Completed in 1963, The
Secret Passage is Nina Bawden's first children's novel and was
written especially for her own three children after they had
discovered a secret passage in the cellar of their house. It
beautifully reflects her own inquisitive nature - as she herself
has said: 'I was a keyhole child, fearsomely curious' - wedded to
her subtly innovative ability to empathise with the child's view.
