They take her home, and Annika grows up in the servants’ quarters of a house belonging to three eccentric Viennese professors. She is happy there, but dreams of the day when her real mother will come to find her. And sure enough, one day a glamorous stranger arrives at the door. After years of guilt and searching, Annika’s mother has come to claim her daughter, who is in fact a Prussian aristocrat whose true home is a great castle. But at crumbling, spooky Spittal Annika discovers that all is not as it seems in the lives of her new-found family . . . (2)The Dragonfly Pool :-The Dragonfly Pool by Eva Ibbotson is an enchanting tale of friend and determination during the Second World War, from the author of The Star of Kazan.

But Delderton Hall is a far more interesting place than Tally ever imagined, and an exciting school trip to the beautiful and luscious kingdom of Bergania whisks Tally into an unexpected adventure . . . will she be able to save her new friend, Prince Karil, before it’s too late? (3)Journey to the River Sea:-It is 1910 and Maia, tragically orphaned at thirteen, has been sent from England to start a new life with distant relatives in Manaus, hundreds of miles up the Amazon. She is accompanied by an eccentric and mysterious governess who has secret reasons of her own for making the journey.

One of the best storytellers of our times. Wonderful characters you fall in love with. Fantastic sense of place.
I home educated my children and we read many, many books, and these were some of our absolute favourites. We still read them as a comfort read if life gets a bit discombobulating.
Can’t recommend enough.
