Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home
The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.
With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

Book Details
Edition Notes
*Printed by Clays Ltd., St. Ives Plc., set in Monotype Garamond. / First published August 6th 1962.
The 1989 film version* was directed by Stuart Orme with a screenplay by William M. Akers. The cast includes Stephanie Beacham as Miss Slighcarp, Mel Smith as Mr. Grimshaw, Geraldine James as Mrs. Brisket, Richard O'Brien as James, and Jane Horrocks as Pattern. Newcomers Emily Hudson and Aleks Darowska played Bonnie and Sylvia.
Although this adaptation is quite faithful to the novel, some characters are omitted (such as Dr. Gabriel Field), others are altered (Mrs. Brisket's daughter Diana is changed into a teenage son named Rupert, who serves as his mother's second-in-command) and the entire final act of the story features considerable changes.--Wikipedia

Work Description
This novel is the first in the Wolves Chronicles (aka The Wolves of Willoughby Chase Series), a series of children's novels set during the fictional early-19th century reign of King James the third.
A large number of wolves have migrated from the bitter cold of Europe and Russia into Britain via a new "channel tunnel", and terrorize the inhabitants of rural areas. Read about the adventures of cousins Bonnie and Sylvia and their friend Simon the goose-boy as they thwart the evil schemes of their governess Miss Slighcarp, and their so called "teacher" at boarding school, Mrs. Brisket.
The story was made into a film in 1989.
