A lovely day !
This was a refreshing read. Written in the 1930s it was a joyful story and gave a poor governess to live the life of the rich for a day. It was beautifully written and let us in to the lives if those people. A bonus for me and many other people was that there was no bad language. I shall keep it and definitely read again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
