When Nan, Robert, Timothy, and Betsy's father went off to explore in Egypt, he left the children with their grandmother who lived in the English countryside. Unfortunately she did not much like children, much less their dog, Absalom. So the children ran away to stay with their Uncle Ambrose, an eccentric, strict, and loveable retired school teacher who was determined to give them an Education, but in addition to Greek, Latin, and Literature, the Linnet children learned much more — about nature and magic, the power of the past and Pan, and, of course, the importance of the bees. They used their knowledge to find the lost Valerians, undo some very wicked, ancient spells, and reunite a divided family. The word "enchanting" is overused, but in this case it applies.

Book Description
"An electric jockey with a juice machine, Eddie Donnally rode on racing's undercard, lived inside its underbelly and became a part of its underworld. From constant bulimia, broken bones and betrayal of Boston's infamous Winter Hill Gang, he depicts an unseen side of Thoroughbred racing. The five tons of his sweat that disappeared down 'hot box' drains was nothing compared to his struglles with sibling sexual trauma, same-sex promiscuity and an addiction to crack cocaine that in seven months took him from newspaper writing and TV show hosting to 'rubbing horses' on the backstretch. Supernatural redemption came in a jail cell. After 17 years of Christian ministry, he is a hospice and hospital chaplain."--Back cover.
