This 1938 novel became a children's literature classic when it was
reissued as a Puffin paperback in 1955; but Persephone Books has
published it for both adults and children to read. It shows five
children successfully looking after themselves when their parents
go away and fail to return; and 'it is partly because of modern
curtailment of childhood independence that Persephone Books (which
has a cult following for its elegant resurrection of novels by
women writers) has reissued the novel,' wrote Rachel Johnson on the
"Daily Telegraph" Education page.Jacqueline Wilson observes in her
Preface: 'Back in the fifties the book seemed entirely convincing.
Reading it now I'm in my fifties it seems extraordinary...that the
Dunnett children in the book were deliberately left on their
own...Yet in spite of all her enormous household responsibilities
the eldest girl, Sue, experiences a freedom and a sense of
achievement not available to most Western teenage girls. She could
certainly teach the teenage girls in my books a valuable lesson.'A
starring role in the book is played by the haybox, which makes a
lasting impression on every reader...
