Mama is a very calm, kind hearted mum of Hen but when she gets drugged, she does not get to spend time with her daughter unless Henry sneeks into her room near the end of the book. Robert is Hen’s older brother who unfortunately died in a fire before the Abott family moved to Hope House. He comes down from heaven when Henry needs to fight her fears.

The Bell family also paid for the building of the schoolhouse, completed in 1873 with a bell tower, and the ‘Reading Room, which eventually became the Village Hall. Several houses around Pound Corner, including Cambria Cottage and Dryden House, bear Alfred’s initials. Alfred’s daughters sponsored the stained glass windows in the Church. Stella Gibbons set out in 1938 to write a version of the Cinderella fairytale which was 'right up to date'. For the modern reader however, it has become instead an enchanting period piece. The story revolves around Viola, 21 years old, newly widowed and cajoled into going to live with her in-laws. The Withers are a buttoned-up and repressed middle class family consisting of money-obsessed Mr Wither, spiritless and dispirited Mrs Wither and their two middle-aged spinster daughters, Madge (wants a dog) and Tina (wants the chauffeur). None of the Withers were every very convinced by son Theodore's choice of Viola as bride; she was so much younger than he and a common shop-girl to boot. What reveals the nightingale to be such a master musician is his decoration of silence, because silence is such an important part of music,” says Lee. “And the best artists are the ones that really know how to work in that space.” Nightingales improvise but also use leitmotifs. They sing with each other too, and with people, as cellist Beatrice Harrison famously demonstrated when she began duetting with nightingales in a series of live BBC broadcasts in the 1920s. The Bell Estate, which included land in most areas of the village, was auctioned in 1918. The Auction Catalogue & Map lists numerous village farms and fields, “old fashioned” cottages, including Manor Cottages on Old Vicarage Lane and “modern” Victorian villas. Grafham Water SSSI - Loaded with spring delights, including the melodic song of the nightingale and the spring chorus of the garden warbler and nightcap. Also making use of the reservoir includes the common sandpiper, greenshank and the rare red-throated diver. With nine miles of shoreline, and around 170 species of bird recorded each year, there is always something to see.Accessed from an entrance on Hill Lawn (there are also a few other places to access the woodland from nearby roads). This walk follows the Brislington Brook through the picturesque woodland valley. There are plenty of swimming opportunities for pups who want to get their feet wet! Bella just loves running up and down the brook and is usually met by many other dogs enjoying their walk. It didn't mention history that much, so it didn't really let me think of history. I want to read a bit The secret of Nightingale Wood was a joy to read, it had realistic and relatable characters which enhanced the emotional storyline. I have always enjoyed reading history books, and this added fuel to the fire of my love. I’m passionate about the characters: Henry, the baby Piglet, Henry’s Mum and I especially like Moth. They are all headstrong and determined- an inspiration to children.

This wood is just one of many to have been protected by gifts in wills, securing it for generations to come. Your legacy gift could also make a real difference to woods, trees and wildlife. For Gibbons, the suburb offered an ideal vantage point for exploring both urban modernity and countryside traditionalism, and for observing both literary modernism and the vestigial Romanticism of popular rural fiction." The advent of war in September 1939 did not diminish Gibbons's creative energy. In November she began a series of articles, "A Woman's Diary of the War", for St Martin's Review, the journal of the London church of St Martin-in-the-Fields. [52] The series ran until November 1943, and includes many of Gibbons's private reflections on the conflict. In October 1941 she wrote: "[T]he war has done me good... I get a dour satisfaction out of managing the rations, salvaging, fire watching, and feeling that I am trying to work for a better world". [53] In July 1940 her husband Allan Webb enlisted in the Middlesex Regiment, and the following year was commissioned into the King's Royal Rifle Corps. [54] [55] He later served overseas, mostly in Cairo. [56] Via M4 junction 15, take the A419 towards Cirencester then the A420 towards South Marston. Turn left into Old Vicarage Lane and follow signs to the carpark at the end of Nightingale Lane.Currently Nightingale and Overscourt each have their own dedicated Forest Plan, but despite the fact that they are 40 miles apart, they are due to be amalgamated into one Forest Plan in the near future. This will provide an opportunity to focus on Community Woodland in West England District at a much wider scale with more cohesive management. As for me I enjoyed the book, and the main character of this book is Henrietta (they call her Henry for short). Henry, her mum, dad, grandma and sister moved out of London and into a new house, called the ‘Hope House’. Ever since they moved to Hope House; strange things have been happening.
