"I have to work out what is making that STRANGE AND OMINOUS scuffling noise under my bed. I don't think it's a crocodile, or a rhino. It might be a monster, but monsters lurk around dark misty lakes, so it's unlikely. What is under my bed? A small silver key is the first clue. And then, TING A LING A LING A LING, Henrietta is woken up by a tiny person with wings. 'Lordy, Lordy, ' says Henrietta. 'Are you a fairy?' 'I'm Mabel May Hissop. Born in the moonlight and raised in a pale orange poppy.' Henrietta P. Hoppenbeek is very often brave and bold, and sometimes expasperating and expooperating, but she's always ready for explorification ..."--Provided by publisher.
The legendary Victorian traveler's previously unpublished letters to her homebound sister.
Spirited Henrietta wishes she was the kind of doctor's wife who knew exactly how to deal with the daily upheavals of war. But then, everyone in her close-knit Devonshire village seems to find different ways to cope: there's the indomitable Lady B, who writes to Hitler every night to tell him precisely what she thinks of him; the terrifyingly efficient Mrs Savernack, who relishes the opportunity to sit on umpteen committees and boss everyone around; flighty, flirtatious Faith who is utterly preoccupied with the latest hats and flashing her shapely legs; and then there's Charles, Henrietta's hard-working husband who manages to sleep through a bomb landing in their neighbour's garden. With life turned upside down under the shadow of war, Henrietta chronicles the dramas, squabbles and loyal friendships that unfold in her affectionate letters to her 'dear childhood friend' Robert. Warm, witty and perfectly observed, Henrietta's War brings to life a sparkling community of determined troupers who pull together to fight the good fight with patriotic fervour and good humour. Henrietta's War is part of The Bloomsbury Group, a new library of books from the early twentieth-century chosen by readers for readers.
Henrietta requests that Jane come to visit her in Schenectady or "if you do not come, I fear that in some fit of desperation I shall rush down to Middletown, the first windy, muddy day" and discusses the letters that they have exchanged. In a post script, Henrietta mentions a "young child" that wishes to enclose a "race book." The letter features an illustration of a black man pasted in, with Henrietta's writting, "Your humble servant cometh greeting." Another unidentified person has written in faint pencil "Greek slave" and other illegible words by the illustration, and drawn faces along the address for the letter.
