Opis

The Penderwicks are four sisters, as different as chalk from cheese, yet as close as can be. The four girls and their absent-minded father head off for their summer holidays, but instead of the cosy tumbledown cottage they expect, they find themselves on a huge estate called Arundel, with magnificent gardens ripe for exploring.

Recenzje

A gentle book, with a philosophy of kindness to others and a message that children should confide their troubles to adults, who should always listen The Sunday Times
