It starts so beautifully, with the three kids (boy, girl, boy) trying to adjust to life in the Scottish castle of their grandparents, and their new tutor arriving to try to catch them up to a British standard of education (they'd lived in the South Pacific with their parents before this, thought the oldest two had been to school already in England). ![]() ![]() It is a classic timeslip story, of three children and their tutor who slip through time to ancient Britain just before the invation of the Romans. ![]()
