Product Description
A timeless tale of courage and friendship--where two brave girls defy wolves, wickedness, and despair to reclaim their home.
Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening. Their once-happy home, Willoughby Chase, is stripped bare--servants dismissed, furniture sold, and the girls banished to a grim orphan school. With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his loyal flock, they plot a daring escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp? This edition of Joan Aiken's beloved classic includes an introduction by her daughter, Lizza, offering rare insight into the author's own struggles and triumphs in completing this enduring story.
