Illustrated by
Georgina McBain.
Life's been hard for Clarrie and Will since their father left the family; it's made harder still when their mother is arrested. Clarrie must hold the family together, with the dubious help of their layabout uncle. With an ending as uplifting as the beginning is grim, here's a piece of Edwardiana with just a touch of the macabre.
