The Morland family move into the 1900's in this book. Again, they are involved in the major historical events of the time, including the Boer War, death of Queen Victoria and the women's vote. Another pleasant instalment.
Deals with the death of Queen Victoria, the Boer War, and women's suffrage, as experienced by the Morland family.
