The House in Cornwall

"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.
