The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place - Book II: Hidden Gallery | Maryrose Wood

Of especially naughty children it is sometimes said, They must have been raised by wolves. The Incorrigible children actually were. Thanks to their plucky governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia are much more like children than wolf cubs now. They are accustomed to wearing clothes. They hardly ever howl at the moon. And for the most part, they resist the urge to chase squirrels up trees. Yet the Incorrigibles are not entirely civilized, and still managed to ruin Lady Constance s Christmas ball, nearly destroying the grand house.

As they explore the city, Penelope and the Incorrigibles discover more about themselves as clues about the children s and Penelope s own mysterious past crop up in the most unexpected ways...
