Présentation de l'éditeur :
'Well, little people, what's the news?’
Meet the big, happy Bell family who live in the vicarage at St Marks. Father is a reverend, Mother is as kind as kind can be. Then there's all the children – practical Paul, dancing Jane, mischievous Ginnie, and finally the baby of the family, Angus, whose ambition is to own a private zoo (he has already begun with his six boxes of caterpillars). And not forgetting Esau, a sure fire competitor for the most beautiful dog in Britain.
Follow their eventful lives from tense auditions to birthday treats; from troubled times to hilarious escapades.
Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out which one of the Bell children you most resemble!

Revue de presse :
"Noel Streatfeild has that happy, skillful knack of turning her characters into real people – something which only really good novelists can do. A first-rate book" (BBC Children’s Hour)
"Noel Streatfeild’s position in the children’s book world is unique. She is endlessly inventive, full of verve and real understanding of the surfaces of childhood. Her stories are rich in documentary interest and entertainment, escapism of a most satisfying sort" (Times Literary Supplement)
