The young visiters [sic], or, Mr. Salteena's plan

Firefly & Fern Summary

Written by nine-year-old Daisy Ashford and published with an introduction by J. M. Barrie, this charming novella offers a delightfully satirical peek into high society through a child's wonderfully skewed perspective. Young readers will enjoy the humorous misadventures of Mr. Salteena and his friends as they navigate etiquette, romance, and social climbing in Edwardian England, discovering that grown-ups can be just as confused and silly as anyone else.
