About this book
An autumn morning in a country hamlet introduces Betty Wyndham, a thirteen-year-old returning home from school after her brother's death in the West Indies. She and her sister Angel now face a poorer life, while neighbours arrive with mushrooms, eggs and eager concern. Mary H. Debenham's children's novel sets its family troubles among misty commons, cottage gardens and the everyday exchanges of a small rural community.
Their nephew Godfrey brings another kind of energy to Oakfield Cottage. Full of admiration for naval heroes, he turns a frozen pond into an imagined Arctic expedition and needs help when the ice breaks. His insistence on telling his aunts the truth gives the adventure a practical moral edge.
