Penelope Lumley feels well prepared to be a governess. Graduating from the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, she has had a solid education and wise mentors. Then she meets her charges . . .children Lord Ashton has found in the woods who have been raised by wolves it seems.
Mysteries abound in the large estate. At the conclusion, there are more issues unresolved so the reader will want to read the other titles in the series.
The only thing I do not like about this book is how the adults do not treat the children kindly-or less than human or less important. It seems like a common theme in some series (Series of Unfortunate Events, for example.).
The book is well written with a dry sense of humor comments from the author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
