The tale begins when a brother and sister chat about the brother leaving his daughter with his sister (who lives in Berkeley Square, London) for a few months while he travels to Brazil. They mutually agree that Sophy is shy and rather retiring; no trouble for Lady Rivenhall at all. Oh, and the brother is hoping his sister can help Sophy find a husband.
However, the reader can tell that things will be a bit different than the in-laws expect when Sophy arrives with a parrot, a horse, and a monkey in tow. It doesn't take Sophy long to see that this family needs her; they are in a sad tangle of unhappiness.
This particular book was read by Sarah Woodward; she's a charming reading voice and carried Sophy's exuberance and resourcefulness very well. This book was originally written in 1950 and remains fresh and funny so many years later.
