This is a continuation of the experiences and adventures of governess Penelope Lumley and her three young charges, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia. TIME WILL TELL, BUT ONLY IN HINDSIGHT, AS TIME IS NOT TALKING RIGHT NOW.ĭelightful Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place!īook II is at least as good as Book I which I recently reviewed. TEN PARTS TALKING IS HALF AS MUCH AS ON PART DOING KELLGREN really makes this story come alive. THE MOOD IN THE NURSERY HAD BEGUN TO CURDLE I was almost in HIGH DUDGEON when I clicked INCORRIGIBLE CHILDREN series and only two books popped up, but when I clicked MAYROSE WOOD, I found Audible had five of the books.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL? This book also gets a little more mysterious. Who are Penelope's parents, who are the kids parents, where they dumped in the woods or stolen, are their werewolves at Ashton Place and more. This book also brings us even more mysteries than the first. THE FULCRUM OF FORTUNE No matter your age you will also benefit from the wisdom of the SWANBURNE ACADEMY for POOR BRIGHT FEMALES of which PENELOPE is a graduate. Yes, I am talking to you so don't get the WHO ME, SYNDROME. All five books for all five granddaughters. When they can read they will each get copies of this series. I can't wait for my granddaughters to get old enough to listen to books without pictures. The story is sweet, silly, funny, LOL and a must.

You want to read book one first, which I loved, but I liked this book even better. GOING, SO PAY ATTENTION I know, I am not being OPTOOMUCHSTIC by saying you will greatly enjoy this book. YOU'RE NOT WHERE YOU WERE, AND YOU NOT WHERE YOUR As they explore London, however, they discover more about themselves as clues about the children's and Penelope's mysterious past crop up in the most unexpected ways. Penelope is thrilled, as London offers so many opportunities to further the education of her unique students.īut the city presents challenges, too, in the form of the palace guards' bearskin hats, which drive the children wild not to mention the abundance of pigeons the Incorrigibles love to hunt.

So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees.ĭespite Penelope's civilizing influence, the Incorrigibles still managed to ruin Lady Constance's Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house.

Thanks to the efforts of Miss Penelope Lumley, their plucky governess, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf pups now. Of especially naughty children, it is sometimes said, 'They must have been raised by wolves.' The Incorrigible children actually were.
