Kate Douglas Wiggin and Bramall Hall by Rowena Edlin-White

Description

Kate Douglas Wiggin is best remembered for her Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, but long before this was written, the author travelled to England and was inspired to write the Penelope books, which became best-sellers in Britain and America.

The first in the series, Penelope’s Experiences in England, was inspired by a five-day visit to Bramall Hall in Cheshire in the autumn of 1890.  Bramall left a deep impression on Wiggin and she returned again and again for twenty-five years.  12pp
