About this book
A summer visit to Grandma's house at Marbury gives Cricket room for ambitious plans and noisy adventures. She means to dig through the sandbanks for a money bag her mother buried years before, while Eunice greets the idea with sleepy sarcasm. Morning bathing in the sheltered cove brings swimming lessons from Will and Archie, and the crowded household prepares for a season with eight children under its roof.
Elizabeth Weston Timlow's children's novel builds its humour from Cricket's energy, curious reasoning and eagerness to help. A church lesson sends her counting the hairs on Billy's head; an attempt to ease Zaidee's sore legs ends in a sticky confusion over a bottle's contents. Affectionate adult supervision and lively conversations give these small mishaps their shape.
