Bunny, a six‑year‑old heir to a comfortable London life, has always been doted on by her indulgent father and a kindly but permissive nurse. When her mother decides it’s time for a stricter routine, a sharp‑tongued French maid arrives, and soon a gover‑teacher is hired to bring order to her whims. The sudden shift from carefree play to disciplined lessons leaves the bright‑eyed girl rebelling, determined to keep her freedom at any cost.
The family’s summer escape to a breezy seaside house in Scarborough offers Bunny a new stage for her adventures. Surrounded by sprawling gardens, fragrant blossoms, and the glittering ocean, she imagines endless days of play while the adults wrestle with her unruly spirit. As the holidays begin, the house’s mysterious locked trunk hints at secrets that could test both her imagination and the patience of those trying to guide her.
