Chiltern Adventure

Mabel Esther Allan

The children of the England family were upset when learning that their summer holiday was to be spent, not at the usual seaside hotel, but in the heart of the country. Francesca, the youngest and completely crazy on ballet, is quite irreconcilable. Their parents are prevented from going, so in the charge of the eldest sister, they settle down to life in the cottage. Almost at once the three elder children come under the spell of the lovely Chiltern country, but Francesca remains a problem.
