The Enchanted Castle

Gerald gets his way with Mademoiselle by calling her a “regular A1 chérie”—and backing up his charm with a little bunch of pink carnations. Now he and his brother and sister are free to explore the woods. What could possibly be waiting there?

During the school holidays in Hampshire, Jerry, Jimmy and Kathleen are stranded at school when measles ruins their plans to go home. A day’s expedition is better than confinement, and the children set off hoping for a cave—and finding far more than a place to stash their provisions. An old estate, a sleeping princess and a ring with a knack for granting wishes turn their holiday games into something unpredictable. Gerald may know how to manage grown-ups, but magic is less easily persuaded. What will the ring make happen next?
