Misunderstood

Set against the rain‑soaked fields of a Sussex abbey, this gentle narrative invites listeners into the world of two spirited brothers, Humphrey and Miles, whose boundless energy turns everyday moments into daring adventures. Through the eyes of their vigilant caretaker, Virginie, we glimpse the delicate balance between indulgent freedom and the quiet anxieties of a woman charged with guiding restless children. The story captures the simple joys and small crises of childhood—climbing trees, daring rides in a dog‑cart, and the ever‑present fear of a cold wind.

Humphrey’s reckless enthusiasm constantly drags his younger brother Miles into escapades, testing the limits of their frail health and the patience of the adults around them. Meanwhile, Virginie's quiet determination and affection reveal the often unseen sacrifices of those who watch over children, offering a tender perspective on familial love. Listeners will find a warm, evocative portrait of a bygone era, where even the simplest rainy afternoon becomes a stage for imagination and gentle growth.
