Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur The four Gareth children have always led a very quiet life in London with their parents – until Dad suddenly gets ill abroad, and Mum has to go out to look after him. The Gareth children are shipped off to Great Aunt Dymphna, who lives wild in an extraordinary half-ruin in Ireland. Here they are not only expected to look after themselves, they also discover that they have company – a mysterious boy who announces that he is on the run. The children hide him from his pursuers – but who are they? And who is the boy? The children are determined to find out… Biographie de l'auteur Noel Streatfeild, the plain middle child between two talented and pretty sisters, trained at RADA and acted for nine years before writing Ballet Shoes, an instant bestseller, in 1936. As vicarage daughter, factory girl, actress, model, social worker, writer, and crusader for good books, Noel touched many aspects of life. Her experiences enriched her stories, which were so popular that, by her eightieth birthday, she had earned herself the title of `a national monument’. She died in 1986.
