Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now. They are accustomed to wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees. Yet the Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and still managed to ruin Lady Constance’s Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house. So while Ashton Place is being restored, Penelope, the Ashtons, and the children take up residence in London. As they explore the city, Penelope and the Incorrigibles discover more about themselves as clues about the children’s—and Penelope’s own—mysterious past crop up in the most unexpected ways. . . .

"To be kept waiting is unfortunate, but to be kept waiting with nothing interesting to read is a tragedy of Greek proportions" Agatha Swanburne This book was...interesting. That I ended up loving it is in some ways amazing as everything conspired against this book. It was the only book I left when...
Oh, those incorrigible children! In case you missed my raving review of the first book, let me assure you that this series is well worth your time.
