Synopsis

A quiet train ride with a lively group of children becomes the start of a warm, watching summer.

Amid talk, games, and the pull of a mischievous bulldog, a quiet boy named Grif finds his own inside world and his place among new grown-up worries. The journey deepens into a slice of rural life, where adults juggle care, curiosity, and a dash of danger that brings everyone closer.

• Follow the dynamics between Miss Johnson, Aunt Caroline, and the children as they travel and settle into a summer routine.
• Experience the tension, humor, and small discoveries that reshape Grif’s view of strength, belonging, and family.
• See how a playful dog and a sudden incident pull the story toward memory, courage, and healing.
• Enjoy a portrait of seaside and rural scenes that frame a child’s coming-of-age in a distinctly classic voice.

Ideal for readers who appreciate quiet, character-driven stories about childhood, family, and the small mysteries of everyday life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Spring Song

'So fair a summer look for never more.' - Thomas Nashe.

Leaning back against the leather cushion of the railway-carriage, Griffith Weston was conscious of an endless panorama of fields and meadows, of green hedges and white hawthorn, and blazing, yellow furze. The whole landscape was bathed in a crude glare of June sunlight, and the heat, and the vivid glittering light, and the rushing train, made his head ache.

He wore a light, loose, flannel suit, without a waistcoat, and his wide short trousers left his knees bare. A dark olive-green silk tie brought out unnecessarily the sallowness of his complexion; his straw hat lay on the seat beside him. He was not in the least a handsome boy, but his expression was pleasing.
