A beautifully illustrated story of an eleven year old London girl's year convalescing in Hertfordshire in 1946. Inspired by the experiences of Saville's own god-daughter, this marvellous novel is full of the wonder of discovery, as well the happiness of regaining health, making friends, and learning to love the natural world. The novel is also a record of rural England 80 years ago, written by one of the great 20th century English nature writers.
