The world that Triffy Garland inhabits is one of videos, hot dogs
and amusement arcades - all the trappings of the consumer age. But
with it comes the cold reality of life in a children's home,
creating a loneliness and emptiness which Triffy hides with a front
of petulance and bravado. She runs away hoping to find a solution
to her problems, an escape from the life she describes as 'dead
boring'.Fate, however, has other plans for Triffy as her travels
somehow take her to not only a new place but a new time. But can
she survive in an era where the children must shoulder a heavy
weight of responsibility and fight simply to exist? The modern girl
will have to adapt to pre-First World War living if she is to
endure this hostile yet invigorating life.'The Ghost of Branscombe
Plats' evokes memories of an age where the true value of friendship
means more than simple possessions. The mystery and beauty of
nature hold the greatest allure and the hope of a better future is
tempered with duty and responsibility. Only the strongest will
survive.
