Against the background of a quiet village and the changing seasons, country fair and Christmas celebrations, Miss Sutcliff has drawn a vivid and imaginative picture of country and family life throughout the sunny year which ended with the coming of Gloriana to Devon, and the realization of Perdita's dreams."
