When orphaned Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor she feels as if she has entered paradise. Her new guardian is kind and funny, the house feels like home, and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But something very sad lies beneath all the beauty and comfort. A past tragedy has left a shadow over the Manor and the town. Now regarded as a modern classic, this book was awarded the Carnegie Medal and was televised by the BBC as "Moonacre". Filmed as "The Secret of Moonacre", Juliet Stevenson, the star of the film version, reads the abridged book on CD.
