Find out moreThe Historical House is a unique collection of six intertwining novels by three highly regarded, award-winning authors. Each novel charts the life and times of the house at 6 Chelsea Walk, London, and the girls who lived there through some very different but fascinating and important periods of history. Historically strong, these are also dramatic stories with a real sense of atmosphere. Each novel sheds an impressively wide light on the social and economic picture of their time and each one stands alone but girls from 8 through to 11 or 12 will I feel want to read them all given the experience of my girls as together they create a powerful tour de force. The three new titles in the series, out now in addition to Andie’s Moon, which is set in 1969 are Cecily’s Portrait, set in 1895 and Mary Ann and Miss Mozart, which is set in 1764.

Andie dreams of becoming an artist. Her best paintings are inspired by the moon and so she's fascinated by news of the first moon landing. But will it be the same magical place once man has set foot on it, and will her paintings win the attention they deserve?
