Penguin 1st Edition, published 1946.
When eleven-year-old Henrietta arrives at the Fishers' residence in Paris, little does she know what fascinating secrets the house itself contains. Henrietta finds that her visit coincides with that of Leopold, an intense child who has come to Paris to be introduced to the mother he has never known. In the course of a single day, the mystery surrounding Leopold, his parents, Henrietta's agitated hostess and the dying matriarch in bed upstairs, come to light slowly and tantalisingly.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Some small marks to front cover. Very light creases and wear to top right corner of front cover. Light creaase to rear cover bottom left corner. Creasing and some wear to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
