Book Description
Victorian London comes to life in this sparkling comedy-adventure from the pen of Leon Garfield.
From the Back Cover
In a cave on the wild side of St James Park live two ragged children; young Nick and his nine-year-old sister Jubilee. Once they had a father, but now they are alone – and Nick knows it is his responsibility to find Jubilee a husband. But who would want to wed a girl who can neither cook nor sew, read nor write?
Leon Garfield was the acclaimed author of more than thirty novels for children and adults. He received many accolades during his career, including the inaugural Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Literary Award.
