Christmas with the Savages (A Puffin Book) Kindle Edition
by Mary Clive (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Based on real events and people, this story of a small girl's Christmas holiday in a large Edwardian country house is effortlessly funny.
At Tamerlane Hall, Evelyn finds a horde of children: the gentle Glens, the plaintive Howliboos, and above all, the uninhibited Savages. They are controlled - or not - by a host of parents, supernumerary Uncles and Aunts, Nannies and nurserymaids.
Evelyn survives the Christmas festivities - just - returning home none too soon! Seen through the eyes of a prim little eight-year-old, this is an amusing and touching account of a childhood a hundred years ago.
