Description

In a sun‑drenched London morning of 1887, three spirited youngsters—Gussie, her sister Tib, and their cousin Gerald—are summoned from their schoolroom by the enigmatic Grandpapa. Their world is a tidy Victorian household filled with polished brass, primrose‑laden gardens, and the occasional stern but kindly servant. As the children tumble down the stairs, their banter and curiosity reveal a tight‑knit family dynamic and a yearning for the unknown that lies just beyond their familiar rooms.

That curiosity soon leads them to a concealed door hidden in the garden wall, hinting at a forgotten palace that whispers of forgotten stories and hidden treasures. With each step, the trio’s imagination turns the ordinary into the extraordinary, promising gentle mysteries, secret passages, and the kind of adventure that only childhood can conjure. Listeners will be drawn into a world where everyday life intertwines with wonder, inviting them to share in the children’s first steps toward uncovering the garden’s secret realm.
