Before you fairly start this story I should like to give you just a word of warning. If you imagine you are going to read of model children, with perhaps; a naughtily inclined one to point a moral, you had better lay down the book immediately and betake yourself to 'Sandford and Merton' or similar standard juvenile works.

A classic in the style of L.M. Alcott and Frances Hodgeson Burnett. A charming tale of 7 mischievous kids and all the scrapes they get up to. Because of the ending I can't quite classify it as a 'comfort book', but I still enjoyed it greatly.
