Description
Tells the story of Jen, one of the Abbey Girls, at her Yorkshire home, and of her friendship with the girls of a boarding school on the hills near at hand. A new girl, Rhoda, comes to the school, and she and Jen find that their interest in folk-dancing leads them into many adventures, including the finding of a valuable old morris pope; the rescue of a Basque fisherman, who is surprisingly found in the snow on the Yorkshire moors, and who proves to be the bringer of tidings which solve a mystery. The story ends with a competition in which Jen’s village children and the school team are rivals; and the result justifies Rhoda’s work in the school.
This new edition includes 43 pages of additional background information and articles, including a full publishing history, pictures of numerous dustjackets and an article on the real Tin Town.
