- Mary Rose Wood is the author of the continuing series about the Incorrigible children and their governess, which may be considered works of fiction, which is to say, the true bits and the untrue bits are so thoroughly mixed together that no one should be able to tell the difference. This process of fabrication is fully permitted under the terms of the author's Poetic License, which is one of her most prized possessions.
Maryrose's other qualifications for writing include a scandalous stint as a professional thespian, many years as a private governess to two curious and occasionally rambunctious pupils, and whatever literary insights she may have gleaned from living in close proximity to a clever but disobedient dog. [adapted from The Hidden Gallery (2010)]

The Unseen Guest: The Incorrigible Children of… av Maryrose Wood
So the three children and Penelope and Lady Ashton arrive back to Ashton House from London when Lord Ashton's mother appears with her new fiancé in tow, He wants to start an Ostrich racing business but when the Ostrich escapes, he uses the tracking skills of the four children to find it and then gets a more sinister idea that involves the children. The book seemed a bit darker than the first two and there was also the matter of the noise in the attic that was never solved as well as the judge proclaiming that he was Lord Ashton's father - very strange. Will have to read the next ones to find out what is actually going on.… (mer)
The children and Penelope the governess and Lady Ashton decamp to London where a gypsy foretells something terrible happening to the children and Lord Ashton seems obsessed with knowing when there is going to be a full moon! Perfect for Middle Grade readers and fans of Lemony Snicket. Second book in the series.
Three wolf children are found in a forest. A 15 year old governess is brought in to look after them and try and make them civilized" for the rather silly lady of the house and the strange man who is obsessed with his Almanac.
In the vein of the Lemony Snicket books this is the first in the series.
