About this book
News that Haver Grange has been let interrupts a hot afternoon's tea in the vicarage garden at Haversham. The vicar's children have long enjoyed slipping through a gap in the fence to picnic in its grounds. Their father tells them these visits must stop, while reports of the new tenant and his young daughter give them plenty to discuss between holiday tasks and stories.
For Una, friendship with Norah, Tom and Dan brings a new wish to visit other families and join in their everyday activities. Her father, Monsieur Gen, insists on limits that she finds hard to understand. When she asks why her life must be different, their conversation begins to reveal his reasons. Frederica J. Turle's children's novel places its questions about friendship and parental rules among sunny gardens, sibling teasing and small domestic concerns.
