Description
I came across this novel at a library book sale when I was younger, and I read it many times! The heroines, Pauline, Petrova and Posy, are three orphans who have been adopted by "Great Uncle Matthew" (often referred to as G.U.M.), a famous fossil hunter. Although he has been gone exploring the world for years, the three girls are growing up at his estate under the care of Nana, their old nurse, and Sylvia, G.U.M.'s great-niece. With funds finally running low, Sylvia and Nana decide to take in boarders, and teach the girls at home. Fortunately, two doctors and a dance instructor come to board, and while the doctors volunteer to teach the girls, the dance instructor suggests that they join the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training, which will train them for free, then take a percentage of their pay when they are working. The girls apply themselves seriously to their work, each developing talents in different areas. However, the question remains, will G.U.M. ever return, and will Pauline, Petrova and Posy become famous performers? 234 pgs, pb. By Noel Streatfield. Jess
