Book 59c: Bagthorpes Abroad, by Helen Cresswell

There is not much to be added in reviewing my third Bagthorpe Saga book. (It's not actually third in the series, but I don't think that matters much). Things remain much the same in the egotistical, strong-willed family which is, as ever, afflicted by the unintentional misdemeanours of niece/cousin Daisy (who appears to have acquired a pet goat). This time, Mr Bagthorpe announces his intention to take the family on holiday. Their great astonishment transforms to disgust when they arrive at the destination: a bleak, dingy, ill-equipped and (most importantly) allegedly haunted house somewhere in the depths of Wales. As usual, chaos (and much rowing) ensues. A speedy read.

On to the next one!
