(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Fiona Robinson. The book opens with young Lady Agatha Farlingham being kidnapped by a grieving widower yeti; she decides to stay and provide the yeti's children with a "civilized English upbringing." Decades later, now-elderly Agatha sends her hirsute charges off to her family estate in England. Completed after Ibbotson's death, this romp employs her trademark whimsical humor. Line illustrations, cozy but surreal, suit the tone.
