About this book
Miss Salome has found a house with roses, raspberries and the trees she requested, but the children next door threaten her hopes of quiet. Then a confident seven-year-old in blue overalls walks into her unpacked room, announces a game of highwaymen and starts a conversation. His visits bring make-believe shops, rose-petal pies and small lessons in whittling, while both Miss Salome and her servant Anne begin to welcome his company.
Annie Hamilton Donnell builds these childhood stories around the feelings that adults can overlook. In another scene, a little girl turns a patch of willows into a royal meeting place, imagining a prince who will care for her. Humorous exchanges sit beside a child's longing for affection. The appeal lies in these close views of young minds: everyday objects become treasures, play creates dignity, and an unexpected friendship changes the atmosphere of a home.
