I read this book on Open Library and found it delightful! The way it is written is, to me, very natural and doesn't feel like it's from more than 100 years ago at all. I love the little place in the country where the children go for a visit, and I love the secret place they find behind the wall in the garden. The scene-setting was so good I felt I was right there with them amongst the trees, grass, old conservatory and such! I love books like that, that really transport me to a special place in a natural country setting. The little mystery was great, too. I found myself not wanting to stop reading. I would like to read more by this author. I was afraid the book might be moralistic, but I didn't find it so at all. A great little story!
