Beautiful Story
This is one of my all-time favourites, which I have read numerous times. It is the story of one girl's adventures whilst staying at her relatives' home Thackers to recuperate. She journeys into the past where she meets her ancestors and important historical figures such as Anthony Babington. Beautifully written, it is a story for all ages that can be told and re-told without ever becoming dull.
