' It's wartime, and Carrie and her little brother, Nick, have been evacuated to Wales to live with grumpy old Mr Evans and his timid mouse of a sister. Their friend Albert is luckier, living in Druid's Bottom with the strange Mister Johnny and Hepzibah Green, who tells wonderful stories. Gradually they begin to settle into their new surroundings, but then Carrie does the worst thing she ever did in her life . . .
