About this book
The mail coach brings an unexpected arrival to Marsden, a village proud of its old customs and distant from the railway. Katharine Maitland steps down with her luggage and a demanding pug named Punch, looking for the woman she calls Aunt Eunice. Her sharp replies conceal homesickness, while Eunice struggles to understand the young visitor who announces herself as a legacy left in her care.
Evelyn Raymond builds this children's novel around the friction of joining a close village community. Susanna Sprigg supplies outspoken commentary, and the Maitland and Sturtevant households reveal their ideas about manners, family standing and growing friendships. In a later scene, a gathering storm turns concern for Katharine into urgent household business. Lively dialogue, autumn gardens and rooms warmed by wood fires give the story its particular texture.
