The Pederwicks
Jeanne Birdsall
Children's Chapter Fiction
Lovely...absolutely lovely
The Penderwicks has everything you could ever want in a children's book: a magical setting filled with cottages and gardens and secret passages; four independent, beautiful, and charming sisters; a young boy in trouble; a nattering father who speaks Latin; an evil, rich woman who disapproves of everything; and, of course, a large, lovable, and misbehaved dog. Incredibly old fashioned,
The Penderwicks is a delightful diversion from the grim realities of everyday life. It is an absolutely lovely book.
