The Lark

`A charming and brilliantly entertaining novel… shot through with the light-hearted Nesbit touch` Penelope Lively, from the introduction”When did two girls of our age have such a chance as we`ve got – to have a lark entirely on our own? No chaperone, no rules, no…”No present income or future prospects,” said Lucilla.It`s 1919 and Jane and her cousin Lucilla leave school to find that their guardian has gambled away their money, leaving them with only a small cottage in the English countryside. In an attempt to earn their living, the orphaned cousins embark on a series of misadventures – cutting flowers from their front garden and selling them to passers-by, inviting paying guests who disappear without paying – all the while endeavouring to stave off the attentions of male admirers, in a bid to secure their independence.`To come upon any Nesbit today, hitherto unread… is like receiving a letter from a friend whom you have believed dead` New York Times
