About this book
Eleven-year-old Sally Dukeen snatches a moment of wonder by listening to a fairy story from beside the wall at Ingleside. Back at Slipside Row, Mistress Cory Ann Brace keeps her busy cooking, scrubbing and sewing. Sally's father left money for her care, but Mistress Brace has hidden it away. A kind older woman, Mammy Leezer, persuades her to give the child some evening freedom, opening a small space for Sally's hopes.
Set in colonial Virginia, Harriet A. Cheever's novel for young readers places this hardworking girl's imaginative life alongside the world of a great house. Sally hides in an oak, thinks of Lionel as her Fairy Prince and waits near the hedge to hear more reading. Her story also reaches into the era of the American Revolution.
