Miss Penelope Lumley has recently graduated from the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females and has just landed her first job as a governess for three children at the Ashton Place. But these are no ordinary children. In fact Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia Incorrigible were found in the woods and believed to have been raised by wolves.
Not only must Miss Lumley teach the children English, how to wear clothing, and not to chase squirrels, she must also get them ready to be the guests of honor at Mrs. Ashton’s Christmas party with all the dancing and small talk that even some grown-ups have trouble with. It’s a good think Miss Lumley is a Swanburne Girl and able to handle it all!
The Incorrigible Children of the Ashton Place is what I imagine Jane Eyre would be had it been written by Lemony Snicket. I can’t wait for the second book in the series to see how the mystery unfolds!
