This is a nice little book, which would certainly appeal to its intended audience of eleven- or twelve-year-old little girls. Its background is distinctly late Victorian, but nevertheless a modern child would find nothing it could not relate to other than the more pleasant general atmosphere of those days. Amy Walton has written a sequel to this book, "Penelope and the Others," also published on the Athelstane website. NH __________________________________________________________…
