"The House in Cornwall is great fun from beginning to end -
if only all school holidays were this exciting."
Noel Streatfield's forgotten children's classic, written
during the Second World War, is brought back to life for a brand-new generation
of readers.
This is the thrilling adventure story of the Chandler
siblings who have been sent to their uncle's house, Tregon Hall, near Truro in Cornwall.
Arriving by train, their initial excitement wears thin as the uncle proves
unfriendly, servants behave weirdly and they are prisoners in their seaside
home. When they hear the unmistakeable sobs of a crying child one night, daring
adventures ensue by land, sea and air ....
In this stunningly beautiful, hardback edition, children
will discover the magic and fun of this summer holiday adventure in Cornwall.
From the author of the beloved classic, Ballet Shoes, this book will
entrance and entertain young readers.
