Burning bright |
The story follows the Kellaway family as they leave behind tragedy in rural Dorset and come to late 18th-century London.

Embodying opposite characteristics, Maggie Butterfield is a dark-haired, streetwise extrovert, while Jem Kellaway is a quiet blond introvert. The children form a strong bond while getting to know their unusual neighbor and his wife |
